*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 basics
First period: 18:36- Emil Andrae (Trevor Zegras) Second period: 8:39- Matt Boldy (Mats Zuccarello, Quinn Hughes) (PPG), 17:51- Kirill Kaprizov (Brock Faber, Quinn Hughes) Third period: 7:58- Owen Tippett (Carl Grundstrom, Travis Sanheim) (SHG) Overtime: No s...
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...
There are 17 games left in the Minnesota Wild's season, and now that we're past the trade deadline, what we're seeing is what we're getting. Fortunately, that's a pretty damn good team. In the three games since the deadline, the Wild dispatched the Vegas Golden Knights with relative ease, played the...
At 2:00 pm last Friday, all was quiet on the Central front. After another excruciating stretch of rumors, fantasies, and scenarios being frantically bandied about like a soccer ball in a U6 game, the trade deadline mercifully arrived. With the Minnesota Wild emerging as legitimate contenders this se...
The Minnesota Wild walked out of the trade deadline with more depth, more grit, and one very important piece still in the organization: Jesper Wallstedt. For weeks, Wallstedt’s name hovered over Minnesota’s search for a top-six center, with the club linked to bigger swings up front, but Bill Guerin ultimately chose not to cash in one of the organization’s biggest future assets for a deadline splash. Instead, the Wild added around the edges with players like Bobby Brink, Nick Folign...
After a whirlwind weekend which saw the return of Nazem Kadri and big shootout wins over the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild, things settled back down into a game every-other-day routine with the Edmonton Oilers in town. In a possible first round match up, this game showed that Edmonton still can pose some problems as […]
The Colorado Avalanche are once again riding a five-game winning streak after beating both the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild via shootout last week, and they’ll look to make it six straight against an Edmonton Oilers team that simply can’t seem to keep the puck out of their own net. Edmonton’s defensive issues — both […]
The Colorado Avalanche edged the Minnesota Wild in a shootout on Sunday, tying the season series in a hard-fought road game for the Wild.
Minnesota beat the Avs in a shootout during their first meeting, and each team has blown the other out this year. Colorado beat the Wild 5-1 in December; Mi...

The Minnesota Wild made some moves at the trade deadline, but ultimately didn’t produce the home run move many were forecasting or hoping for. However, Minnesota’s move to swap a second-round pick for bottom-six forward Michael McCarron has garnered a lot of attention. Unfortunately, that attention...
The Philadelphia Flyers’ biggest splash at the trade deadline wasn’t selling off a bunch of aging veterans for whatever draft picks they could pry from the hands of the top teams around the NHL — bad news for some fans. But, they took the step to clear up space for potential top-end winger prospects in the future and bet big on a former top draft pick figuring it out in their system.
By bringing in David Jiricek from the Minnesota Wild, they have possibly solve some of their problems on t...
The Minnesota Wild have noticeably elevated their game against top-tier opponents over the past couple of weeks, and they’ve done it right as the playoff race has tightened around them.
Minnesota has gone on a 9-2-2 run over its last 13, a stretch that includes a 5-2 road win in the league-lea...
For Nazem Kadri, stepping back into Ball Arena carried some serious weight — excitement, emotion, and the unmistakable feeling of returning to a place that still feels like home. “Super excited!” Kadri said about coming back to Colorado and making his return against division foe the Minnesota Wild. The feeling wasn’t a mystery. In fact, […]
*We made it, folks! The trade deadline has come and gone, and we’re officially made it out on the other side. In case you missed it — you know, if you’re just waking up from a coma or returning from a remote wilderness excursion — let’s recap the news happenings.

Denver, CO — Nazem Kadri has returned to the Mile High City, and we were in the press box and locker room at Ball Arena to give our massive, loyal, and downright die-hard community a closer look at Avalanche vs. Wild! We were hit with some not-so-good news just as the Colorado Avalanche came out […]
The Colorado Avalanche, boasting the most formidable lineup in the NHL this season, just got a little nastier coming out of the NHL trade deadline. Or, perhaps more fittingly, Naz-tier. Nazem Kadri begins his second stint as a member of the Avs today, who face the newly reconfigured Minnesota Wild in a high stakes matchup […]
The Minnesota Wild navigated the 2026 trade deadline effectively by upgrading their roster depth without paying the massive premium it would have taken to land a true top-six center, preserving key prospects and draft capital for the long term. In a year where center prices were exorbitant, Bill Gue...
The Minnesota Wild’s acquisition of Bobby Brink from the Philadelphia Flyers is more than a feel-good homecoming story. It’s a calculated bet that a crafty, play-driving winger entering his prime can push this team closer to a deep playoff run. Adding Brink's skill set into a lineup that already fea...
As the dust settles on the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, it's hard to say that the Minnesota Wild didn't get better. Just by virtue of shipping out David Jiříček and Vinnie Hinostroza, the Wild unloaded negative-1.4 Standings Points Above Replacement. Add in Bobby Brink, Nick Foligno, Jeff Petry, Robby F...
Over the last few days, it certainly seemed like Nick Foligno was going to be traded at some point before the deadline, but the destination was the real mystery. That question was answered on Friday morning when reports surfaced that the veteran forward was headed to the Minnesota Wild.
The Chicago Blackhawks confirmed the move shortly after the initial reports:
