Latest news and updates about the Wild
Jared Spurgeon isn’t just the quiet heartbeat of the Minnesota Wild's blue line. He's one of the franchise’s defining figures, shaping the team’s identity on the ice and the organization's and community's culture away from it. Since arriving in Minnesota as an undersized, overlooked defenseman...

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild were able to have a well-earned 4-3 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks (even if the score shouldn't have been that close) and after losing their previous three games to non-playoff teams, that was so desperately needed. Even if the puck bounced one single ot...

A late Chicago goal forced overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center before Minnesota scored during the extra session for its third 4-3 OT win over the Blackhawks this season. An old friend opened the scoring, with Ryan Hartman finding a soft spot in the low slot for this relatively easy goal that made it a 1-0 Wild game about six minutes into the first period: Ryan Hartman opens the scoring. pic.twitter.com/TTv60bDr7N — BHF (@BlackhawksFocus) March 17, 2026 About 90 ...

The Chicago Blackhawks are ushering in a new-era of hockey with Connor Bedard leading the way. Slowly, but surely, the Blackhawks continue to trade veteran talent, and their last move saw former Captain Nick Foligno dealt to the Minnesota Wild, a chance to play postseason hockey for a job well done. Now, the Blackhawks have another tough decision to make with pending unrestricted free agent Matt Grzelcyk. Signed as a free agent in July to a one-year, $1 million average...

Yakov Trenin’s league-leading physical play has become one of the Minnesota Wild’s most important competitive advantages, reshaping how opponents defend and freeing up space for Minnesota’s skill to shine. On paper, Trenin’s profile still looks like a classic checking forward, but the scale of...

Back home and following pair of days off, the Blackhawks host the Minnesota Wild on St. Patrick’s Day for a national broadcast on TNT, the first of consecutive meetings between the two divisional foes. The Wild are largely in cruise control for the rest of the regular season, as they’re pretty solidly locked into the No. 3 spot in the Central Division, almost guaranteed to be facing the Dallas Stars in the first round of the playoffs. Minnesota is six points behind Dallas’ 94 and the Star...

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild are in a slump and it's not just the fact that they have lost three straight games, but it's who they have lost those games against. After their dominant 5-0 win over the Mammoth, it has now been three straight losses against non-playoff teams -- and fairly bad...

Last week’s trade deadline did not prove to be too fruitful for the Philadelphia Flyers. The biggest move they did actually make was the one-for-one swap of winger Bobby Brink for the younger and more raw defenseman, David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild. But according to a recent report, they were eyeing a sizeable addition but not at forward, or getting another defenseman; it was in the crease. No trade was actually made, of course — since, you know, the trade deadline passed last Frida...

The Minnesota Wild’s deadline swing for Michael McCarron and Nick Foligno is already reshaping their identity down the middle and along the walls. McCarron and Foligno give John Hynes exactly the kind of heavy, detail-driven hockey this group has been missing. When Bill Guerin traded a 2028 se...

That's Wild Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy were able to get on the score sheet against the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night, but the Minnesota Wild succumbed to the shootout and only got one point out of the affair. [StarTribune] Unfortunately, to add to the loss, we couldn't see...

*The Flyers needed the extra time to do it, but they beat the Wild last night in Minnesota so at least staying up late was worth it this time. RECAP ! *Going back a couple days to that Caps game… Owen Tippett was all over the place, huh? [ BSH ] *Speaking of that Caps game, this is pretty hilarious. Tom Wilson sucks but this is funny. [ RMNB ] *Kinda related, Nikita Grebenkin does a really good job pissing guys on the other team off. Which is just one of the reasons he fits so w...

A tired Flyers team overcame a somewhat off night by Dan Vladar, another string of horrid power plays and a rested Minnesota Wild to eke out a 3-2 shootout victory in what was one of the grittier efforts of the season.

The trade deadline has come and gone, and the Wild organization looks quite a bit different at the NHL level now compared to a few weeks ago. Bill Guerin got the ball rolling early this year by acquiring superstar defenseman Quinn Hughes in a December blockbuster. That trade put the rest of the...

Before the start of the 2024-25 NHL season, Bill Guerin declared his belief that Matt Boldy could be a 50-goal/50-assist player. The breakout didn't arrive last year, despite the Minnesota Wild forward scoring a career-high 73 points. Still, the big, faster-than-you-think, skilled winger has always...

Reunions are always great after the trade deadline. Sometimes you have to wait until next season for a player to face their former team, or go and visit the city and play in front of fans that once supported them and cheered them on. Or, in the case of the Minnesota Wild's trade deadline acquisition...

The Chicago Blackhawks weren't that active during the trade deadline. Instead of moving off key pieces, they traded veterans like Nick Foligno (to the Minnesota Wild), Jason Dickinson (to the Edmonton Oilers), plus two prospects: Aidan Thompson and Colton Dach. However, when we turn to other players languishing in AHL Rockford, we notice that Kevin Korchinski is one prospect who had a cup of coffee in the NHL but hasn't been able to break through since. Korchinski has played...
