The Minnesota Wild have agreed to terms with center Luke Johnson on a two-year, two-way contract.

Johnson, 24, set career highs with 18 goals and 31 points in 53 games with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs in 2018-19, his third pro campaign.

The native of Grand Forks, N.D., also made his NHL debut with the Chicago Blackhawks last season, notching one assist in 15 games.

A product of the University of North Dakota, Johnson has skated in 199 career AHL games with Rockford, totaling 39 goals and 39 assists.

Chicago selected Johnson in the fifth round of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft.
