The Minnesota Wild signed their entire coaching staff to multi-year contract extensions, the team announced Thursday.

That includes head coach Dean Evason, assistant coaches Darby Hendrickson, Brett McLean, and Bob Woods, as well as goalie coach Frederic Chabot, and video coaches T.J. Jindra and Jonas Plumb.

Evason is in his third season as the club's bench boss. He's guided the squad to a 62-29-7 record in 98 regular-season games.

The Wild promoted the 57-year-old from assistant coach to interim head coach during the 2019-20 campaign after firing Bruce Boudreau. He became Minnesota's permanent head coach in July 2020.

Evason was a finalist for the Jack Adams Award last season after leading the Wild to a 35-16-5 record - the ninth-best in the NHL. He ultimately lost out to Carolina Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour.

The Flin Flon, Manitoba, native has the Wild off to another great start in 2021-22, as Minnesota leads the Western Conference with a .667 points percentage.
