Former Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau hired by Minnesota Wild

Coach Bruce Boudreau, fired by the Ducks on April 29 following the team’s first-round playoff elimination, wasn’t out of work for long.

The Minnesota Wild announced Saturday that it had agreed to terms with Boudreau, 61, to take over its coaching job. Those terms were not disclosed, but Bob McKenzie of Canada’s TSN said the deal is for four years at almost $3 million a year.

Boudreau — who briefly played for the Minnesota Fighting Saints of the World Hockey Assn. -- is scheduled to appear at a news conference Tuesday in Saint Paul.
