Josh Harding spent last season rehabilitating two torn ligaments in his right knee, all the while envisioning how his first victory would develop when he returned to the ice. A 1-0 shutout against the mighty Detroit Red Wings at home? That seemed like a stretch, even to Harding.

PLAYER NEWS

Red Wings Pavel Datsyuk (DET - Center) News: Datsyuk has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Red Wings, the Detroit News reports. [+] Impact: Datsyuk has a year left on his current contract, so Tuesday's deal ensures that he will remain with Detroit for the next four years. Datsyuk finished up this past season as the Red Wings' top scorer, with 49 points in 47 games to go along with a team-high plus-21 mark. (RotoWire - Tue. June 18, 2013) Drew Miller (DET - Left Wing) News: Miller says he has agreed to a three-year, $4.05 million contract with the Detroit Red Wings. [+] Impact: Miller confirmed the deal was done in a Friday interview with The Associated Press. The agreement keeps the defensive-minded, penalty-killing forward off the market as a free agent next month. Miller had four goals, including two game-winners, and eight points in 44 games during the lockout-shortened season. He had a game-winning goal and an assist in six playoff games after coming back from a broken right hand. (STATS - Fri. June 14, 2013) Drew Miller (DET - Left Wing) News: Miller has agreed to a three-year extension with the Red Wings, Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press reports. [+] Impact: Miller was set to become an unrestricted free agent July 5, but now he's signed on for three more years in Detroit. He scored eight points in 44 regular season games, before tacking on another two points in six playoff appearances. He'll likely skate on the fourth line, as was the case during most of the 2012-13 season. (RotoWire - Fri. June 14, 2013)

Wild Marco Scandella (MIN - Defense) News: Scandella, a restricted free agent, signed a two-year deal worth $2.05 million to remain with the Wild, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. [+] Impact: Scandella will require waivers next season if he's not on the NHL roster, so this contract likely ensures he'll begin next season in Minnesota. (RotoWire - Tue. June 18, 2013) Marco Scandella (MIN - Defense) News: The Minnesota Wild have re-signed Scandella to a two-year contract. [+] Impact: Scandella was eligible to be a restricted free agent, but the Wild locked the 23-year-old before he could hit the market. Scandella missed training camp in January because of a groin injury and spent most of this season with the Houston Aeros in the AHL, recording 17 points in 45 games (STATS - Mon. June 17, 2013) Josh Harding (MIN - Goaltender) News: Harding has won the NHL's Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy for perseverance. [+] Impact: Harding played this season after being diagnosed with MS during the offseason.
