This trade has worked out quite nicely.

Eight Minnesota Wild​ players have been named to an Olympic team for the 2026 Winter Games; seven will play. Defenseman Brock Faber is one of just two on the U.S. roster with Olympic experience.

The new Wild star matched a mark set by Ryan Suter, who played over 600 more games with Minnesota than Hughes has.

The Minnesota Wild can enter the Olympic break on a five-game heater, but first they must defeat the Predators in Nashville on Wednesday night.

Kirill Kaprizov scored his second goal of the game on a power play at 3:38 of overtime to give the Minnesota Wild a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. Minnesota got the power play when Phillip Danault hooked Kaprizov in front of the goal.

Quinn Hughes set a new franchise record with another multi-points game as Wild thrashed Oilers 7-3 in Edmonton.

When Marian Gaborik left Minnesota in the summer of 2009, the Wild’s first draft pick had spent eight NHL seasons becoming the franchise’s career goals leader with 219. The way Kirill Kaprizov is scoring lately, that record might not make it to the Olympic break.

Despite skating, veteran defenseman Zach Bogosian remains sidelined for the Wild's matchup against the Flames, extending his absence.
