The Minnesota Wild have bolstered their lineup by signing forward Nicolas Aube-Kubel and defenseman Matt Kiersted to contracts that will see them play in both the NHL and the AHL with the Iowa Wild. Aube-Kubel, known for his physical play and scoring touch, is expected to bring depth to the Wild's forward group. He has previous NHL experience, having played significant minutes for the Colorado Avalanche and the Philadelphia Flyers.

Kiersted, a solid two-way defenseman, will also add versatility to the Wild's defensive corps. His experience in the AHL will be invaluable as he aims to make an impact at the NHL level. Both players will be looking to impress during training camp and earn their spots on the roster leading into the regular season.

These signings reflect the Wild's commitment to building a competitive team, as they seek to improve on their recent performances. The addition of Aube-Kubel and Kiersted not only provides depth but also adds some fresh talent that could be crucial for the team's success moving forward.
