Latest news and updates about the Wild
There are those in the hockey media who seek to raise NHL fans' blood pressure at all times. They’re the ones who are constantly moving goalposts or setting and then resetting the stakes of the season. Their refrains include: Tonight’s game is a must-win (a favorite no matter how early it c...

It’s Thanksgiving, at least among some of the lesser hockey countries. So today, I’m going to list a reason that I’m thankful for each NHL team. That’s it. No gimmicks, or clever twists. I promise I’m not even going to do the “Thanks for reminding us it could always be worse” backhanded compliment thing to anyone. Just one sincere, if slightly bizarre, reason to say a quick thanks to every team. >> Read the full post at The Athletic (Want to read this post on The Athletic for free? Sign u...

The Minnesota Wild powered past the Chicago Blackhawks in a very solid come-from-behind 4-3 win in overtime. And sure, we could all talk about how Kirill Kaprizov finished off the opposition with an absolute laser in the extra period and making it now six straight wins for Minnesota -- but that's a...

The Blackhawks started strong, faded late, then lost 4-3 in overtime on Wednesday night against the Minnesota Wild. After a dominant first period, the Blackhawks were finally able to beat Minnesota goaltender Filip Gustavvson at 5:41 into the second period when a bad turnover by the Wild bounced to Jason Dickinson in the slot, and he fired it five hole: GOAL: Yakov Trenin sets up Jason Dickinson who scores his second goal of the season pic.twitter.com/IKFldOW4Ky — BHF (@Blackha...

The Minnesota Wild are 9-2-2 since their 3-5-2 start, a promising sign for a team that appeared to be floundering for the second time in three years. The Wild had an identical 3-5-2 record through ten games in 2023-24, the year Bill Guerin fired Dean Evason and Minnesota missed the playoffs for the...

The Chicago Blackhawks continue a four-game homestand Wednesday night, welcoming the red-hot Minnesota Wild to the United Center. The Wild looked like a mess early on, but they’ve been having a lot of success lately, riding a five-game winning streak and an 8-1-1 heater in their last 10, capped off with back-to-back shutouts against the Pittsburgh Penguins (5-0) and Winnipeg Jets (3-0) in their most recent wins. This current run has vaulted them to third in the Central Division and inject...

The Minnesota Wild have played very well over the past 10 games, going 8-1-1 and winning five games in a row. They are doing this with a makeshift lineup while multiple regulars are injured. This isn't anything new for the Wild, who have regularly been able to outperform expectations, waiting for their time to be true contenders. I wouldn't say they are there yet, but the pieces are in place for the Wild to contend with all of the young and skilled players entering the NHL and stepping up. Thi...

Mats Zuccarello’s future with the Minnesota Wild is officially in wait-and-see mode. The 38-year-old winger, still riding shotgun with close friend Kirill Kaprizov on the top line, admits he hasn’t decided whether he’ll play beyond this season, the final year of his two-year, $8.25 million deal. After core muscle surgery wiped out training camp and the first 15 games, he wants to use the rest of the year as a personal measuring stick to determine if he still feels good enough to pl...

For most of the Minnesota Wild's existence, they've been what broadcaster Jeff Marek would often call "a donut." Why? "No center." It's not the sweetest way to put it, perhaps, but it's an accurate assessment of why the Wild tend to get burned to a krisp or kreme'd in the playoffs. Once th...
