David Jiricek has turned from an exciting prospect into what Midwesterners politely call “interesting.” Well, that's not quite fair. Minnesota-"interesting" usually translates to awful, I hate it, never show me this again, please. Jiricek is more of a mix of confusing and polarizing. That's le...

Nazem Kadri’s play-driving, edge, and center depth would fit exactly what the Minnesota Wild need. His current production and faceoff workload in Calgary also underline that he can still handle tough minutes down the middle.

David Jiricek has been caught in the middle a little bit. When the Minnesota Wild traded a boatload of draft picks and a defenseman (that they eventually got back, in Daemon Hunt) for the former sixth-overall pick, he was seen as more of an instant answer for some offense from the blue line for the...

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...

It took extra time once again, but the Sharks swept the season series with the Wild today, with a 4-3 shootout win.

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...
