The Wild re-signed restricted free-agent defenseman Mike Reilly to a two-year, $1.45 million contract ($725,000 salary cap hit) Monday.

It's the same one-way contract signed by defenseman Gustav Olofsson the previous week and gives Reilly his best chance at cracking the Wild lineup permanently next season.

Reilly, a former Gophers athlete, scored one goal in 17 games with the Wild last season and led Iowa defensemen with 25 assists, 30 points and 129 shots. In two seasons with the big club, Reilly, 23, has scored two goals and eight points in 46 game.
