Top Wild News

    Kumpulainen has 28 goals and 55 points through 56 games with OHL Oshawa this campaign. The Wild selected the 18-year-old forward in the second round (53rd overall) of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Expected to remain out

    Eriksson Ek (lower body) is set to miss out on the rest of the Wild's road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Monday.

    Eriksson Ek was originally slated to return during the team's five-game road trip, but it seems that is no longer the case. With the 27-year-old center remaining on the shelf, Marco Rossi figures to stay in the second-line center role, though newcomer Marat Khusnutdinov could also push for more opportunities.

  • Wild's Vladislav Firstov: Assigned to AHL

    Firstov was assigned to AHL Iowa on Sunday.

    Firstov logged 17 goals and 35 points with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL this season. Firstov, a second-round pick in 2019, could work his way into a bottom-six role in Minnesota before the end of the year.

  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Scoring streak to seven games

    Kaprizov notched a goal and an assist in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to St. Louis.

    Kaprizov set up Marco Rossi's tally early in the first period before tying the game 2-2 later in the frame, deflecting a Mats Zuccarello feed past Jordan Binnington. Kaprizov now has goals in four straight games and points in his last seven contests, totaling nine goals and four assists in those seven games. He's up to 76 points (35 goals, 41 assists) through 61 games this season.

  • Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Stops 35 in shootout loss

    Fleury stopped 35 of 37 shots in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues.

    Fleury was sharp Saturday, holding St. Louis to a pair of goals in regulation before ultimately falling in the shootout. The loss snapped a four-game winning streak for Fleury, though he's still held opponents to three goals or fewer in each of his last seven outings. The 39-year-old netminder is 16-11-4 with a .906 save percentage and a 2.67 GAA this season. Minnesota will look to bounce back Tuesday on the road versus the Ducks.

  • Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Guarding cage Saturday

    Fleury will be between the visiting pipes in St. Louis on Saturday, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Fleury picked up his 75th career shutout Thursday in his third straight start. He has won four consecutive games, giving up only six goals on 94 shots (.936 save percentage) during that span. Fleury has a 16-11-3 record this season with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage. With his play of late, he has taken over the Wild's No. 1 goalie role from Filip Gustavsson. The Blues rank 26th in the league this season with 2.79 goals per contest.

  • Wild's Jonas Brodin: Produces apple in win

    Brodin notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Brodin has four points over his last six games. His latest contribution was a secondary helper on a Zach Bogosian tally in the first period. Brodin has played solidly for the Wild in a top-four role this season, racking up 23 points, 96 shots on net, 118 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 49 appearances. He's unlikely to get back to the 30-point mark, but he's already done far better than last season (14 points in 60 outings).

  • Wild's Marco Rossi: Garners helper

    Rossi recorded an assist in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Rossi had gone ice cold with a 10-game point drought entering Thursday. That likely explains why Ryan Hartman was promoted to the top line to fill in for Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body). Rossi has had some ups and downs in his first full campaign, but he's at 34 points, 138 shots on net, 45 PIM and a plus-1 rating through 67 appearances. The 22-year-old is likely to remain in a top-six role -- he's been the second-line center in recent weeks.

  • Wild's Ryan Hartman: Supplies assist Thursday

    Hartman logged an assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Hartman got a top-line assignment due to Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) being out of the lineup. Hartman made the most of it, setting up Kirill Kaprizov's tally in the second period. Over the last five games, Hartman has been heating up with two goals and three assists. The 29-year-old forward is up to 38 points -- exceeding his total from last season -- while adding 141 shots on net, 70 hits, 50 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 62 appearances.

  • Wild's Matt Boldy: Contributes assist in win

    Boldy notched an assist in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Boldy hadn't posted a single point in a game since Feb. 24 -- he had two multi-point outings in eight games during that span, which included six scoreless outings. The 22-year-old winger helped out on Kirill Kaprizov's second-period marker. Boldy is up to 53 points (24 goals, 29 assists), 176 shots on net, 42 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 60 contests in a top-six role.

  • Wild's Zach Bogosian: Tallies in Thursday's win

    Bogosian scored a goal and added two hits in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Bogosian tallied at 14:44 of the first period, and that goal ended up being the game-winner, his first such tally since the 2021-22 campaign. The 33-year-old defenseman has three goals and 11 points through 52 outings between the Wild and the Lightning this season, with two of his markers coming over his last five games. He's added 98 hits, 62 blocked shots, 45 PIM and a plus-3 rating while filling a bottom-four role.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Could join team in California

    Eriksson Ek (lower body) won't play Saturday in St. Louis but may rejoin the Wild during the remainder of their road trip in California, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

    Eriksson Ek is guaranteed to miss a second game with the injury, but a specific timeline for his return has yet to be established. The Wild visit the Ducks on Tuesday and the Kings on Wednesday before returning home to face the Blues again March 23. Eriksson Ek's absence has allowed Ryan Hartman to get onto the top line.

  • Wild's Kirill Kaprizov: Pots goal in win

    Kaprizov scored a goal on eight shots and added two hits in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Kaprizov is on quite the surge with eight goals and three assists during his six-game point streak. The winger provided an insurance tally in the second period Thursday. He's up to 34 goals, 74 points, 212 shots on net, 45 hits and a plus-11 rating over 60 appearances this season. Kaprizov needs one more point to match his total from 67 contests last year, though his career high of 108 from 2021-22 likely won't be topped in 2023-24.

  • Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Earns 75th career shutout

    Fleury posted a 16-save shutout in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Ducks.

    Fleury stretched his winning streak to four games with the 75th shutout of his career, which was also his second shutout this season. The 39-year-old looks to be eating into Filip Gustavsson's playing time -- the Wild will likely ride the hot hand as long as they're in the playoff race. Fleury is up to 16-11-3 with a 2.70 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 33 appearances. The Wild's next game is critical to the wild-card battle, as they visit the Blues on Saturday with both teams needing to make up some ground on Vegas.

  • Wild's Marc-Andre Fleury: Gets nod Thursday

    Fleury will start Thursday at home against Anaheim, per Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.

    Fleury will look to win his fourth consecutive game. In his last start he stopped 21 of 22 shots in a 4-1 win against Arizona on Tuesday. The 39-year-old has recorded a .902 save percentage and a 15-11-3 record in 32 games played this year. He will have a favorable matchup at home against Anaheim who is third worst in the league in goals per game at 2.58.
