The Minnesota Wild are one of the top teams in the league, but have the misfortune of being in the same division with the two other top teams in the league. They will have the toughest path to the conference finals despite being a very good team. They aren't just building a team that can compete for a Stanley Cup this season, but at least next season as well. The cost to acquire Quinn Hughes is paying off already, but more has to be done, particularly down the middle. The Wild aren't bad at ce...

On Friday, the United States revealed its roster for the upcoming Winter Olympics. Initially, we knew that six players were confirmed for the team: Toronto’s Auston Matthews, Florida’s Matt Tkachuk, Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk, Vegas center Jack Eichel, Bruins defender Charlie McAvoy, and Minnesota Wild defenseman Quinn Hughes. The rest of the mix was widely speculated and, to some, seemed to be set in stone. But Team USA’s general manager Bill Guerin and his inner circle still had some tough decis...

The San Jose Sharks aren’t the best team in the league, but somehow, some way, the Sharks have the Minnesota Wild’s number. It took extra time once again, but the Sharks swept the season series with the Wild today, with a 4-3 shootout win. The win claimed the Sharks’ 20th win of the season, equaling San Jose’s total wins in all of the 2024-25 season. The last time the Sharks had 20 or more wins before the turn of the calendar was in 2018-19, when the team had 46 wins and made the playoffs. Whi...

The San Jose Sharks welcome the Minnesota Wild to the Shark Tank today, hoping to sweep the season series. It’s a much different Wild team than the Sharks have played in the past two outings. The Sharks won the previous two meetings, though both of those happened before the Quinn Hughes trade. San Jose won 6-5 in overtime on Oct. 26 and 2-1 in overtime on Nov. 11. But now, the Wild have one of the best defensemen in the world in Hughes. Since acquiring Hughes on Dec. 12, the Wild have gon...
