Wild Lock In Rising Goaltender Ruzicka | Minnesota Wild News
Description
The Minnesota Wild just inked a three-year deal with 18-year-old goalie Filip Ruzicka, a towering 6’8” netminder already lighting up the Western Hockey League with 26 wins and elite save percentages. Drafted in the fifth round of the 2026 NHL Draft, Ruzicka’s standout play — including playoff heroics — and even more dominant stats in the Czech Republic’s U17 league signal he’s a future cornerstone. The Wild are betting big on his development, making this a long-term play to build a sustainable goaltending foundation.
