SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Minnesota Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher on Thursday announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has re-signed F Justin Fontaine and F Carson McMillan to one-year, two-way contracts.

He also led all Aeros skaters with eight points (3-5=8) in five playoff games. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound native of Bonnyville, Alta., posted 55 points (16-39=55) in 73 games with the Aeros in 2011-12. He played collegiately at Minnesota-Duluth.
McMillan, 24 (9/10/88), totaled 18 points (9-9=18) and 29 PIM in 64 regular season games with the Aeros last season. He added four playoff games, totaling two PIM. McMillan has skated in 15 NHL games with Minnesota, notching five points (2-3=5) and 11 PIM.
