At the beginning of the NHL season, the hockey world looks at the teams destined to be bad and starts watching the big names who might be moved later. For Minnesota Wild fans desperate to see their team land a center, the speculation seemed to focus on Dylan Larkin and Tage Thompson.
The proble...
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...
When Joel Eriksson Ek went down with an injury in the Minnesota Wild’s January 8 game against the Seattle Kraken, it was cause for significant concern. The Wild already need center depth, and that issue becomes even worse without Eriksson Ek on the ice.
To add to the distress, Eriksson Ek has...

Carson Soucy expected to be the first move of the retool as trade to the New York Islanders is "brewing."
Let’s just jump straight into the new look lineup we saw at practice on Monday before the Blackhawks flew to Minnesota for Tuesday night’s game against the Wild. Teuvo Teräväinen was back with the team in full ( finally ) after missing six games with an upper-body issue. He slotted onto the top line with… Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar !

I’m going to talk about Thanksgiving a little bit here, which is a very strange thing to write about in January. Not only is the holiday ten months away, but there’s very little to be thankful for at this time in Minnesota.
The weather sucks. It’s so cold that dogs go unwalked for days in a ro...
Brad Marchand returned with a vengeance, producing two goals, including the game-winner, and an assist in the Florida Panthers 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena.
The Panthers opened the scoring 6:44 into the first when Carter Verhaeghe and Evan Rodrigues worked behind the net to claim the puck. Verhaeghe sent the biscuit from low to high to Aaron Ekblad at the right point. Filip Gustavsson failed to glove Ekblad’s shot, which ticked off Ryan Hartman and appeared to...

The Minnesota Wild must improve their center depth at the trade deadline. Vincent Trocheck is one of general manager Bill Guerin‘s options. Still, he’s over 30, and many fans are tired of adding older players. That concern makes sense.
Could the St. Louis Blues trade Robert Thomas to the Wild?...
