Detroit Red Wings GM watched the Wild-Lightning last night. The Boston Bruins show some interest in Simon Edvinsson. Vladimir Tarasenko may not fit the Panthers anymore.
Quinn Hughes still hasn't signed an extension with the Minnesota Wild, and that probably isn't changing soon. Oh, and the Panthers are out on Dylan Larkin.
Look at last season's leaders in power-play minutes. Three of the top 15 were with the Minnesota Wild. Part of the reason is that Kirill Kaprizov, Quinn Hughes, and Matt Boldy are elite options who can handle long shifts on the man advantage. That's the positive way to look at it. The other side of...

Kirill Kaprizov’s 400th NHL game deserved a better ending.
Instead, the Minnesota Wild left Buffalo with a frustrating reminder that even a milestone night for their biggest star cannot overshadow a game that slipped away. Minnesota surrendered a two-goal third-period lead Tuesday before Owen...

One opposing pro scout was disappointed not to see him in the lineup for Philadelphia's first two games.
Seravalli called it "noteworthy" that there's intrigue in his game around the league, but he didn't report that Philadelphia is shopping him.

The Minnesota WIld visited the Buffalo Sabres on an early-season trip out east and while they held a 2-0 lead thanks to two second-period goals from Danila Yurov and Maxim Shabanov, they ended up losing 3-2 in overtime. Tage Thompson and Noah Ostlund scored in the first half of the...
BUFFALO – Less than a week into the season, the Sabres have kept showcasing more of the maturity that helped buoy them to a thrilling 109-point campaign last year.
To wit: in each of the last two games, they’ve erased 2-0 deficits, roaring back for wins.
In Tuesday’s exciting 3-2 victory, which defenseman Owen Power won with 37.4 seconds left in overtime, they plowed forward after an iffy penalty and an awful non-call helped put ... Read the full article

Foligno had an awkward collision with Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin in a game on Tuesday night.
One of the surprising Tampa Bay Lightning players from the 2025-26 season appears to be set to return to the line-up after an off-season injury kept him out for the first three games. Dominic James has recovered from the broken hand he suffered during his workouts and could be in the line-up as soon as Thursday night against the Minnesota Wild. In order to open up a roster spot for James, the team placed center Jansen Harkins on waivers for the purpose of reassigning him to the Syracuse Crunch...
Michael McCarron, Marcus Foligno, and Nick Foligno are all hammers, and the NHL is a nail. Despite each player averaging under 13 minutes a night, they averaged 2.7 hits each per game. Add that up, and the Minnesota Wild can count on its fourth line for eight impacts a night.

The ongoing uncertainty over the contract negotiations for Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes and Boston Bruins center Pavel Zacha could make them trade candidates if new deals aren't in place by the March 1 trade deadline.
The Minnesota Wild are off to a strong start, winning their first two games. Their suffocating defense headlined both games. The team has allowed two goals and, according to Money Puck, only one high-danger shot attempt to reach Jesper Wallstedt. Several factors have contributed to Minnesota's domin...
