Wild winger Kurtis Gabriel has agreed to re-sign with the organization on a one-year, two-way contract. It will pay him $715,000 at the NHL level and $70,000 in the minors.

Gabriel had a 13-game stint with the Wild last season, playing almost exclusively as fourth-line bruiser. He also played 40 games with the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League, scoring 10 points (8 goals, 2 assists).

Gabriel, 24, was originally selected by the Wild in the third round (No. 81 overall) of the 2013 NHL entry draft. Perhaps best known for his propensity to stick up for his teammates, Gabriel has gotten into 36 fights in 190 career games with the Iowa Wild.

The Wild also signed free-agent goaltender Steve Michalek and forward Zack Mitchell to one-year, two-way contracts.

Michalek, whose deal is worth $715,000 at the NHL level, posted a 13-14-1 record with a 2.63 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in 30 games with Iowa last season. Mitchell, whose NHL salary would be $660,000, appeared in 11 games with Minnesota in 2016-17 without registering a point. He had 22 points (11-11–22) in 62 games Iowa.
