SAINT PAUL/MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Minnesota Wild President and General Manager Doug Risebrough today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has re-signed goaltender Josh Harding to a multi-year contract.

He stopped all 30 shots faced in a 5-0 win at Edmonton March 1, 2007 in his first start of the season for the Wild and made 35 saves in a 5-1 win at Buffalo March 9, 2007.
