First period
The crowd picks up where it left of at the end of the last homestand, with a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant.
Each line played its first shift in Minnesota’s zone. Ivan Demidov worked himself into the best chance of the opening minutes, but passed off from a prime scoring area. He needs to be a little more selfish.
It looks like Montreal’s legs work again.
Kirill Kaprizov passes the puck from behind Montreal’s net right to Juraj Slafkovský, and he sends his linemate...

Over two months since he sustained a broken foot while blocking a shot, Kirby Dach will play his 16th game of the season tonight when the Montreal Canadiens host the Minnesota Wild. He will join Nick Suzuki’s line opposite Cole Caufield, reuniting a trio that h...
While developing young players has been a bit rocky in the Minnesota Wild organization over the past few years, give them credit where it's due: They seem to have nailed it with Danila Yurov.
One of the Wild's two first-rounders from the 2022 Draft, Yurov made the trek overseas this summer for...
As the NHL trade season approaches, we should start to see some clarity on which teams will be buyers, which will be sellers, and how they could fit together in trade discussions. The Minnesota Wild and the New York Rangers are two teams that already seem like a natural fit.
Minnesota has gone...
The Minnesota Wild’s goaltenders have quietly become a big part of how the Wild get out of their zone cleanly, generate rush chances, and protect their own blue line. It’s all about how they handle the puck.
Yesterday's overtime game against the Buffalo Sabres was a perfect example. Gustavsson...
Yeesh. The first five minutes of this game looked like it could’ve been a much different type of night, as the Leafs tilted the ice and created good looks for Easton Cowan off an OEL-generated rebound and a deflection off the ref that set up Steven Lorentz, who could easily have three or four goals […]

At the age of 34 in the NHL, there's not many firsts left for most players. But veteran winger Marcus Foligno managed to score his first career hat trick against the Toronto Maple Leafs Monday night as the Minnesota Wild topped them by a score of 6-3.
It wasn't necessarily the most beautiful co...

The Minnesota Wild are back on their "Everyone Is Injured" bulls*** again. After a plague of devastating injuries in the 2024-25 season, the Wild managed to get through about half the season relatively unscathed. But the specter of missed time comes for everyone, eventually, and it's Minnesota's tur...
The Toronto Maple Leafs are moving on with one of their best players, and from the sounds of it, it could be awhile before William Nylander is available. Leafs' head coach Craig Berube spoke to the media on Monday ahead of their matchup against the Minnesota Wild and shed some light on the status of Nylander this week, in what's the Leafs toughest week of competition of the season. “I don’t know how long the timeline will be for him,” Berube said. “When he feels good enough to get on the ice, ...

Before the overtime winner in Buffalo, the Minnesota Wild have been a tough watch for the past week. Weak plays, stupid mistakes, lack of finish, bad goals going in, all of the hallmarks of a terrible team made the Wild borderline unwatchable. What happened to one of the best teams in the league?

The Minnesota Wild spent much of the 2020s trying to keep their defense pipeline flowing. Preparing for the day when the team would move on from Jared Spurgeon, Ryan Suter, Jonas Brodin, and Matt Dumba, they invested heavily in the position.
In 2020, they used a second-round pick on Ryan O'Rou...
There was a time, not so long ago, when the Minnesota Wild beat lousy hockey teams.
In the halcyon days of mid-December, the Wild traded for Quinn Hughes and looked like they could compete with the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche in a seven-game series. They crushed the Boston Bruins 6-2,...
That's Wild
The Minnesota Wild have a very crucial month. After bringing Quinn Hughes into the fold, the pressure has been on them to show that they truly are a Stanley Cup contender that is worthy of more investment before the NHL trade deadline. Unfortunately, now after a brutal 6-2 loss t...
The Winnipeg Jets have won three contests in a row, matching their second longest hot streak on the 2025-26 campaign, and they will be attempting to extend that on Thursday evening when they visit the Minnesota Wild. After the True Northers dropped their opening regular season game, the club strung together 5 consecutive victories for their longest winning streak of the year. Can they try match or surpass that plateau as they try to work their way back into the playoff conversation?

A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
When Quinn Hughes was in talks to be traded from the Vancouver Canucks , there wasn't just one or two teams, Minnesota Wild and New Jersey Devils , that he would have liked to go to. At the very least, there was another, the Detroit Red Wings, that the star defenseman would have also been happy playing for until his contract is up. Elliotte Friedman said, "Hughes wanted to go to the Red Wings. They were one of the teams he was very interested in, but Steve Yzerman wasn't doing that without an ...
The Minnesota Wild suffered a little bit of a disheartening defeat against the New Jersey Devils, but now get the chance to reverse it against a massively underperforming Winnipeg Jets team Thursday.
Somehow, the Wild have already faced this Jets team three times this season and in the middle o...
Yakov Trenin and Marcus Foligno have brought back an edge to the Minnesota Wild, and they have made life much easier for their linemates. Their physicality doesn’t just fire up the crowd or pad the hit totals. It literally opens up ice, widens lanes, and buys time for Minnesota’s skill to take over....
