The Minnesota Wild signed forward Mario Lucia to a two-year, entry-level contract beginning next season, the club announced Sunday.
The 22-year-old wrapped up his career at Notre Dame on Friday with a 3-2 overtime loss to Michigan at the NCAA Tournament. In four seasons with the Fighting Irish, Lucia recorded 61 goals and 49 assists in 110 games.
Selected in the second round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft (60th overall), he will report to the Wild's AHL affiliate in Iowa on an amateur tryout for the remainder of this season.
