Wild's Nico Sturm: Slated to miss 6-8 weeks
Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that Sturm (back) is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Sturm returned to the ice for Friday's preseason finale against Chicago after dealing with a back issue during training camp, but he apparently aggravated his injury, as he was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. Hynes said Wednesday that Sturm was expected to miss "significant time," and the team expects the 30-year-old to undergo back surgery that will sideline him for over a month. Hunter Haight will make his NHL debut during Thursday's Opening Night matchup against St. Louis and should have a chance to make an impact in Sturm's absence.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Won't play Thursday
Brodin (upper body) won't play in Thursday's Opening Night matchup against the Blues, Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
There was some hope that Brodin would be available for Thursday's regular-season opener despite landing on injured reserve Monday, but he'll be forced to miss at least one game to begin the 2025-26 campaign. However, head coach John Hynes said Thursday that Brodin's return is "imminent," so it's possible that the 32-year-old will be cleared to play as early as Saturday against the Blue Jackets.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Might be available for Thursday
Brodin (upper body) hasn't been ruled out for Minnesota's season opener against St. Louis on Thursday, per Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune.
Brodin was put on injured reserve Monday, but he's eligible to be activated whenever he's healthy. The 32-year-old had four goals, 20 points and 104 blocks in 50 regular-season outings with Minnesota in 2024-25. If he can't play Thursday, then David Jiricek is likely to draw into the lineup.

Wild's Nico Sturm: Expected to miss significant time
Head coach John Hynes said Wednesday that he expects Sturm (back) to miss significant time, Sarah McLellan of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.
Sturm missed most of training camp due to a back injury but was able to suit up in Friday's preseason finale against Chicago. However, he landed on injured reserve to begin the regular season and is apparently facing a lengthy early-season absence. It's not yet clear when he'll be in the mix to return to action, but he'll likely take on a bottom-six role once he's healthy.

Wild's Hunter Haight: On Opening Night roster
Haight is a part of Minnesota's Opening Night roster, per Michael Russo of The Athletic on Tuesday.
Haight was expected to start the year in the minors, but Nico Sturm's placement on injured reserve due to a back injury necessitated the Wild adding another forward to the roster. Haight embarked on his professional career with AHL Iowa in 2024-25, contributing 20 goals and 34 points over 67 games. He might open the 2025-26 campaign as Minnesota's fourth-line center.

Wild's Nico Sturm: Moves to IR
Sturm (back) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
In a corresponding move, Minnesota recalled Hunter Haight. Sturm had been dealing with a back issue during training camp, but he returned to the lineup in Friday's preseason finale. If he aggravated the injury during Monday's practice, he will miss at least the first three games of the 2025-26 campaign. Still, a timeline for his return is unclear. Once healthy, he will be in the mix for a fourth-line role.

Wild's Cameron Butler: Injured, not on roster
Butler (undisclosed) was placed on the non-roster injured list, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic on Tuesday.
It's not clear when Butler picked up the injury, but he'll most likely head to AHL Iowa once he's fully healthy. The 23-year-old has appeared in just one career NHL game, which occurred with Columbus during the 2023-24 season. Butler had two goals, one assist and 74 PIM over 37 regular-season outings with AHL Cleveland last year.

Wild's Michael Milne: Dealing with undisclosed injury
Milne was designated for non-roster injured reserve with an undisclosed injury Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Milne made his NHL debut last season, logging 6:34 of ice time against the Stars on Nov. 16 while tallying three hits. Even without his injury concern, the 23-year-old winger was a long shot to make the Opening Night roster. When given the green light to play, Milne figures to link up with AHL Iowa for the upcoming campaign -- though he could earn a call-up at some point down the road.

Wild's Stevie Leskovar: Lands on non-roster list
Leskovar (wrist) was designated for non-roster, injured reserve Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
Leskovar was injured during training camp and now will start the year on the non-roster, injured reserve list. Once given the all-clear, the 21-year-old blueliner will almost certainly be sent down to AHL Iowa, where he figures to spend the bulk of the 2025-26 campaign.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Put on injured reserve
Brodin (upper body) was moved to injured reserve Monday, PuckPedia reports.
Brodin practiced fully at one point during training camp, but he's been sporting a non-contact jersey lately, though it's unclear if he's suffered a setback in his recovery. Until he's ready to play in 2025-26, Zeev Buium might receive a hefty workload in a top-four role.

Wild's Mats Zuccarello: Placed on injured reserve
Zuccarello (lower body) was shifted to injured reserve Monday, per PuckPedia.
Zuccarello isn't expected back in the lineup for the foreseeable future, as the Wild said Tuesday that the veteran forward is set to miss at least 7-8 weeks due to his lower-body injury. While the 38-year-old is sidelined, Vladimir Tarasenko figures to fill a top-six role, and Matt Boldy will probably see his average ice time increase for the third consecutive season as a result of Zuccarello's absence.

Wild's Jonas Brodin: Remains unavailable
Brodin (upper body) likely won't be ready for the start of the regular season, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic on Monday.
Brodin has been sporting a non-contact jersey at practice since last Sunday, when he participated in a session with contact. It was always unlikely he would play at the start of the 2025-26 campaign after undergoing offseason surgery. Brodin could be a candidate to begin the year on injured reserve. He had four goals, 20 points, 71 shots on net and 104 blocked shots across 50 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Wild's Tyler Pitlick: Placed on waivers
Pitlick was placed on waivers by the Wild on Sunday.
Pitlick signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Wild during the offseason, but he was unable to earn a spot on the Opening Night roster during training camp. He recorded 21 goals, 25 assists and 34 PIM over 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Providence last year and will likely head to AHL Iowa if he clears waivers.

Wild's Cal Petersen: Waived by Minnesota
Petersen was placed on waivers by the Wild on Sunday.
Petersen didn't make any regular-season NHL appearances last year, and he'll begin the 2025-26 campaign at AHL Iowa if he clears waivers. He made 31 regular-season outings with AHL Lehigh Valley last year, going 13-15-3 with a 3.14 GAA and an .885 save percentage.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Signs five-year contract
Gustavsson inked a five-year, $34 million contract extension with Minnesota on Saturday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Gustavsson has one season remaining on a three-year, $11.25 million contract he signed in July of 2023. His new deal will kick in with the start of the 2026-27 campaign. Gustavsson was outstanding in 2024-25, posting a 31-19-6 record with five shutouts, a 2.56 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 58 regular-season appearances. He will probably be between the pipes in St. Louis in Minnesota's 2025-26 regular-season opener.

Wild's Nico Sturm: Returns Friday
Sturm (back) will participate in Friday's preseason game against Chicago, per the NHL media site.
It'll be Sturm's first exhibition game of training camp due to the back injury. The 30-year-old recorded seven goals, 14 points, 20 PIM and 107 hits in 62 regular-season appearances between San Jose and Florida in 2024-25. Sturm will probably make Minnesota's Opening Night roster, but he might spend some of the campaign as a healthy scratch.

Wild's Stevie Leskovar: Out Friday
Leskovar (wrist) isn't in the lineup for Friday's preseason game against Chicago, per the NHL media site.
This was Leskovar's last opportunity to get into an exhibition game with Minnesota this year. The 21-year-old is expected to report to AHL Iowa when he's healthy, but if Leskovar isn't ready to do so before the start of the regular season, then he'll instead begin the campaign on Minnesota's non-roster injured list.

Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Expected to start Friday
Gustavsson is expected to guard the road goal for Friday's preseason game against Chicago, per Tracey Myers of NHL.com.
Gustavsson is getting a second opportunity to shake off the rust after allowing three goals on 20 shots en route to a 4-1 loss to Chicago in an exhibition game Sunday. The 27-year-old Gustavsson is expected to open up the campaign as Minnesota's No. 1 netminder. He posted a 31-19-6 record, 2.56 GAA and .914 save percentage across 58 regular-season outings with the Wild last year.

Wild's Matt Kiersted: Summoned from AHL
Kiersted was recalled from AHL Iowa on Friday.
Kiersted inked a two-year, two-way contract in the offseason after spending parts of four seasons with Florida. He had one assist in two regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024-25 and had a plus-34 rating with AHL Charlotte last season, leading the AHL in the category.
