Latest news and updates about the Wild
The Minnesota Wild should target Robert Thomas from the St. Louis Blues to improve their center position. Also, they should target Jordan Kyrou, who hasn’t taken a step forward after scoring 70 points last season. He has only 24 points in 42 games, which puts him on pace for just 41 points. That dro...

The Blackhawks lost a game last night. I really like this paragraph from Mark Lazerus’ postgame for The Athletic after accounting for Minnesota’s three-goal comeback: None of those was a ghastly, unforgivable miscue by the Blackhawks. The Wild are just good. And they fought back. Sometimes that’s just how it happens. Hockey’s not always a zero-sum game. Earlier this morning I wrote about the idea of “good losses” for the Blackhawks right now. This roster will undoubtedly evolve i...

That's Wild After he has had a somewhat unexpected surge in production this season with 35 points in 49 games, winger Marcus Johansson is able to make his Olympic dream come true. As Team Sweden suffer a boatload of injuries to almost every position, Johansson, along with Bruins blueliner Ha...

If you were wondering how the new-look top line would do for the Blackhawks, they scored the game’s first goal only 79 seconds into the game (on their first shift). The Hawks then proceeded to out-skate the Wild for most of the rest of the opening period, and doubled their lead almost 14 minutes after the first goal. Chicago took a 14-8 shots on goal advantage and 2-0 score to the room after 20 minutes. You knew the Wild were going to push back in the second period, and they did. The next...

Jesper Wallstedt is exactly the kind of goaltender you keep and build around, not the kind you move for a short-term fix, and the Minnesota Wild are in a rare position where having two legitimate starters could be the backbone of a deep playoff run. The Minnesota Wild didn’t draft Wallstedt to...

At the beginning of the NHL season, the hockey world looks at the teams destined to be bad and starts watching the big names who might be moved later. For Minnesota Wild fans desperate to see their team land a center, the speculation seemed to focus on Dylan Larkin and Tage Thompson. The proble...

The Hawks are up north this evening for a Central Division matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota’s been one of the league’s biggest surprises through the first half-ish of the season, sitting fifth in the league standings with 68 points in 53 games (29-14-10). The Wild surged in late 2025 with seven-game winning streaks in both November and December that would’ve sent them to the top of the division were it not for the absurd pace being maintained by the league-leading Avalanche. ...

After a less-than-ideal performance on Sunday evening on home ice, the Blackhawks get a quick two-game trip that starts with their first look at Quinn Hughes on the Minnesota Wild. The Wild come in only 4-4-2 in their last 10 games and locked into a heated battle with Dallas for home ice in the Central Division’s 2-3 matchup in the first round of the playoffs. The Blackhawks threw their lines in a blender on Monday, so tonight will be an experiment with the healthiest roster they’ve had i...

I’m going to talk about Thanksgiving a little bit here, which is a very strange thing to write about in January. Not only is the holiday ten months away, but there’s very little to be thankful for at this time in Minnesota. The weather sucks. It’s so cold that dogs go unwalked for days in a ro...

Brad Marchand returned with a vengeance, producing two goals, including the game-winner, and an assist in the Florida Panthers 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena. The Panthers opened the scoring 6:44 into the first when Carter Verhaeghe and Evan Rodrigues worked behind the net to claim the puck. Verhaeghe sent the biscuit from low to high to Aaron Ekblad at the right point. Filip Gustavsson failed to glove Ekblad’s shot, which ticked off Ryan Hartman and appeared to...

The Minnesota Wild must improve their center depth at the trade deadline. Vincent Trocheck is one of general manager Bill Guerin‘s options. Still, he’s over 30, and many fans are tired of adding older players. That concern makes sense. Could the St. Louis Blues trade Robert Thomas to the Wild?...
