Top Wild News

  • Wild's Daemon Hunt: Gathers assist in win

    Hunt logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Hunt continues to play in a third-pairing role. He's suited up in four straight games due to the absences of Jake Middleton (upper body) and Jonas Brodin (upper body), and with David Jiricek (lower body) joining the injured ranks Sunday, Hunt may get a longer look in the lineup. Hunt has little fantasy upside, as he has just two assists with 10 hits, 17 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances this season.

  • Wild's Nicolas Aube-Kubel: Snags first assist of season

    Aube-Kubel notched an assist and four PIM in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Aube-Kubel has filled a bottom-six role over the last two games as the Wild navigate a handful of injuries to wingers. The 29-year-old provides more grit than scoring, so he's unlikely to be a player fantasy managers need to track. He put up 13 points in 23 AHL games prior to his call-up.

  • Wild's Brock Faber: Earns two power-play assists in win

    Faber logged two power-play assists, three shots on goal and three blocked shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Faber was still able to make an impact with the man advantage despite Quinn Hughes making his Minnesota debut Sunday. The 23-year-old Faber will likely be limited to the second power-play unit moving forward, though he could pair with Hughes at even strength. Sunday's effort ended an eight-game slump for Faber, who has racked up 17 points, 73 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 33 outings overall.

  • Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Tallies on power play

    Spurgeon scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Spurgeon has a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. While his tally came with the man advantage Sunday, Spurgeon may struggle to get power-play minutes now that Quinn Hughes is on the team. Spurgeon could continue to work on the second unit, but the Wild may want to save him for more defensive assignments. The 36-year-old blueliner has two goals, eight points, 35 shots on net, 45 hits, 61 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 33 appearances this season.

  • Wild's Quinn Hughes: Scores in team debut

    Hughes scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Hughes wasn't in the lineup Saturday versus the Senators as he got settled in following Friday's trade. The 26-year-old slotted in for 26:55 of ice time and had the Wild's fourth goal of the contest, making an immediate impact in his team debut. He's now at three goals, 21 assists, 77 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 27 appearances when accounting for his time with the Canucks to begin the year. Hughes' scoring potential should tick up a bit with the Wild, who have a much stronger supporting cast.

  • Wild's Matt Boldy: One of each in win

    Boldy scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Boldy picked up his third multi-point effort in the last five games. The 24-year-old winger has three goals and five assists in that span. Boldy has elevated his offense this season to the tune of 18 goals, 37 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-10 rating over 33 appearances. He should continue to see a prominent role in the lineup while attempting to surpass the career-best 73 points he had in the 2024-25 regular season.

  • Wild's Ryan Hartman: Provides three points in win

    Hartman scored a power-play goal and added two assists in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Hartman has two goals and four points over his last two games. The 31-year-old forward continues to see time on the third line and second power-play unit, though he occasionally gets some shifts alongside Kirill Kaprizov as well depending on the flow of the game. Hartman has racked up six goals, 12 points (three on the power play), 57 shots on net, 31 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across 29 appearances.

  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Reaches 20-goal mark

    Kaprizov scored twice on four shots, added an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-3 in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    Kaprizov had been limited to three points over his last six outings. The 28-year-old broke out for his first multi-point effort since Nov. 28 versus the Avalanche, helping lead the Wild to their fourth straight win. Kaprizov is up to 20 goals, 37 points, 109 shots on net and a plus-1 rating across 33 outings this season.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Cruises to win

    Gustavsson stopped 29 of 31 shots in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.

    The Wild had the first five goals in this game, making it fairly easy work for Gustavsson to pick up his third straight win. He has allowed two or fewer goals in seven of his last nine games to maintain his share of the crease in a split with Jesper Wallstedt. Gustavsson is up to 10-8-3 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage through 21 starts this season. If the Wild continue to alternate goalies, Wallstedt would play at home versus the Capitals on Tuesday while Gustavsson would get a road assignment Thursday versus the Blue Jackets.

  • Wild's David Jiricek: Dealing with lower-body injury

    Jiricek exited Sunday's game against the Bruins due to a lower-body injury, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

    Head coach John Hynes didn't have an update on Jiricek's status following Sunday's matchup, so the defenseman's status for Tuesday's game against the Capitals isn't yet clear. Jiricek saw a relatively normal workload prior to his departure, as he logged 12:52 of ice time. If Jiricek is unable to suit up against Washington, Matt Kiersted will be a candidate to enter the lineup.

  • Wild's Marcus Johansson: Injured against Boston

    Johansson departed Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins during the second period due to a lower-body injury, and there was no update on his status postgame, Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News reports.

    Johansson logged a power-play assist on Jared Spurgeon's second goal of the season to give the Wild a 1-0 lead midway through the opening frame. The 35-year-old Johansson should be considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's home matchup versus the Capitals. The veteran winger is up to 11 goals and 26 points across 33 appearances in 2025-26.

  • Wild's Samuel Hlavaj: Earns shutout Sunday

    Hlavaj recorded a 28-save shutout in AHL Iowa's 6-0 win over Manitoba on Sunday.

    Hlavaj picked up his first shutout of the season and the second of his career. He is now 4-5-1 with a 3.21 GAA and an .884 save percentage over 10 appearances. Hlavaj is battling with Cal Petersen for starts with Iowa, though neither will be able to rely on performance alone to get to the NHL, where the Wild boast a strong goaltending duo in Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt.

  • Wild's Benjamin Gleason: Racks up three helpers

    Gleason had three assists in AHL Iowa's 6-0 win over Manitoba on Sunday.

    Gleason had been limited to one assist over his previous 11 games. He's at 10 points in 25 outings this season, though he also has a minus-13 rating. The defenseman has logged a pair of three-assist efforts, which obscures his generally lackluster play overall.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Wild's Jack Peart: Four points in AHL win

    Peart scored a goal and added three assists in AHL Iowa's 6-0 win over Manitoba on Sunday.

    Peart entered the contest on a 10-game slump before posting his best performance of the season. Many of his struggles can be attributed to Iowa's poor showing as a team this year. He has eight points and a minus-11 rating over 24 appearances, which is an improvement on his seven points in 53 outings a year ago.

  • Wild's Nico Sturm: In Sunday's lineup

    Sturm (upper body) is taking part in warmups and will play Sunday against the Bruins, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    Sturm was injured toward the end of the game Saturday night against the Senators, and his status was in doubt for Sunday. He is warming up and will center Minnesota's fourth line with Ben Jones and Tyler Pitlick. The 30-year-old Sturm will appear in his 11th straight game since a lengthy absence to begin the season. He has one goal and three assists in the previous 10 outings.

  • Wild's Filip Gustavsson: Facing Bruins

    Gustavsson will protect the home net against Boston on Sunday, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

    Gustavsson will get the second half of Minnesota's back-to-back after Jesper Wallstedt played in Saturday's 3-2 win over Ottawa. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a 9-8-3 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 20 appearances this season. Boston ranks seventh in the league with 3.28 goals per game this campaign.

  • Wild's Danila Yurov: Records power-play assist

    Yurov notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Senators.

    Yurov's helper was his first point in four outings since he missed two games due to an undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old has been listed on the top line at even strength lately, and he may hold onto that on-paper role now that Marco Rossi is a Canuck following Friday's blockbuster Quinn Hughes trade. Yurov is up to eight points in 25 appearances, his helper Saturday being his first power-play contribution. He's added 31 shots on net, 17 hits, 17 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating. Yurov isn't quite a household name for fantasy yet, but he has plenty of time to develop into one.
