Latest news and updates about the Wild
The Edmonton Oilers play the Minnesota Wild tonight, and more importantly, they play Quinn Hughes. It’ll be the second time they see him in Wild threads, the first having come just eight days after the deal. And look at what’s happened to Minnesota since that trade. The Wild went from good to great the moment…

Maybe Edmonton Oilers fans can resonate with this quote from Minnesota Wild coach Jon Hynes. “The one thing I will say is that when you go through 82 games, they’re not all gonna be Picassos, right?” said Hynes. Right you are, Mr. Hynes. Both teams would approach this ethos from different angles after their last…

The Minnesota Wild are looking for more ways to upgrade ahead of the trade deadline this season to have a larger advantage over the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars or to just keep up with them if those teams make larger additions, which it seems as though they're set to as well. The Wild have already brought in Quinn Hughes, but that was to address their defense. They still have their forward group to make more suitable for a Stanley Cup run. Center is a place where they'd like to upgrade,...

Not going to beat around the bush, the last few weeks have not been fun if you’re a Wisconsin Badgers fan. This hockey team has found all sorts of ways to lose, from giving up nice leads to being run out of their own barn. Worst of all, the current four-game skid is happening after […]

The Minnesota Wild have picked up points in five of their past six games, a reminder that patience with this group might be the smartest path forward. As tempting as it may be to shake up the roster, the way this team has handled adversity, leaned on its core, and integrated new pieces suggests that...

Things did not look good for Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt at the end of the first period on Tuesday night. He had given up three goals, and the Wild were down 3-0 against the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. A save on a Connor Bedard shot in the second period that almost trickled past h...

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...

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...

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...
