SAINT PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Wild coach John Hynes has signed a multi-year contract extension after leading the team to its first playoff series win in 11 seasons.
The contract was announced by Minnesota general manager Bill Guerin on Tuesday. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hynes is entering his fourth season with the Wild and 12th season as an NHL coach. He has a 125-78-24 record in three seasons since he was hired on Nov. 28, 2023.
