  • Pavel Novak: On unconditional waivers

    Novak was put on unconditional waivers by the Wild on Friday for the purposes of terminating his contract, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

    Novak was in the final season of his three-year, entry-level deal. He had no points in two outings with ECHL Iowa in 2024-25. Novak, who was taken by Minnesota with the No. 146 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, might return to his native Czechia to continue his NHL career. He did have one assist in 15 appearances with Ceske Budejovice HC of the Czech League in 2020-21.

  • Wild's Pavel Novak: Expects to participate at camp

    Novak (illness) is expected to take the ice for the Wild during training camp in September, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports.

    Novak missed all of 2022-23 after recovering from Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was declared cancer-free in October after undergoing treatment in his native Czechia. A minor lower-body injury kept him off the ice for the Wild's development camp, but he intends to turn pro with AHL Iowa this season.

  • Wild's Pavel Novak: Moves past cancer diagnosis

    Novak (illness) announced Wednesday he has beaten cancer.

    Novak was diagnosed with an oncological disease in June and was given an indefinite timeline for treatment in recovery. With Wednesday's news, it's possible he could soon begin training for the upcoming season. The 20-year-old may have a chance to make his debut for AHL Iowa at some point in the 2022-23 campaign. He'll likely remain on injured reserve until he's officially cleared to play again.
