The Minnesota Wild have expressed interest in pending unrestricted free agent Matt Hendricks, according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.

The 36-year-old is coming off his fourth year with the Edmonton Oilers, but was limited to just 42 games this season, where he posted just four goals and seven points.

Hendricks certainly isn't among the bigger names on the free-agent market, but following the entry draft last weekend general manager Chuck Fletcher noted that the team was looking to upgrade its fourth line and in the backup goalie positions.
