ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Stephane Veilleux (stef-AHN' vay-OOH')
and the Minnesota Wild have agreed to a one-year contract, avoiding
a salary arbitration hearing.
The 26-year-old Veilleux, who has carved a niche as a left wing
on the Wild's checking line, scored a career-high 11 goals to go
with seven assists in 77 games last season.
He has played five seasons with Minnesota, which drafted him in
the third round in 2001.
