Wild sign 2 defensemen

ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Minnesota Wild have signed defensemen Jamie Fraser and Jaime Sifers to one-year deals.

The 23-year-old Fraser appeared in one game for the New York Islanders last season. He spent the rest of the year with Bridgeport of the AHL and had seven goals and 14 assists in 66 games.

The 26-year-old Sifers played 23 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last season.

Both signings will help the Wild on the blue line, where they lack depth. They signed Greg Zanon from Nashville earlier this month.
