Golden Knights defenseman Brad Hunt was traded to the Minnesota Wild after Monday’s game between the teams at T-Mobile Arena.
The Knights also sent the Wild a sixth-round pick in the 2019 draft in exchange for the Wild’s fifth-rounder, the team announced.
Hunt, who was a healthy scratch Monday, recorded five goals and 25 points in 58 games with the Knights after signing as a free agent in July 2017.
The 30-year-old was a popular figure in the locker room with a stall next to goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury.
General manager George McPhee is expected to address the move after Tuesday morning’s practice at City National Arena.
