Top Wild News

  • Wild's Carson Lambos: Up from minors

    Lambos was recalled from AHL Iowa on Thursday.

    Jonas Brodin (lower body) was put on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Lambos has three goals, eight points and 28 PIM in 34 appearances with Iowa in 2025-26. He made his NHL debut with Minnesota on Dec. 18, recording one shot and one block in 10:16 of ice time, but he hasn't played at the top level since.

  • Wild's Jonas Brodin: Placed on injured reserve

    Brodin (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.

    The Wild announced earlier Thursday that Brodin is considered week-to-week, so his placement on injured reserve isn't particularly surprising. Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he isn't sure whether Brodin's injury will impact his status for the Olympics in February, so whether the defenseman will be back in action before next month remains to be seen. Carson Lambos was recalled by the Wild in a corresponding move to provide additional depth in Brodin's absence.

  • Wild's Zach Bogosian: Expected back during road trip

    Head coach John Hynes said Thursday that he anticipates that Bogosian (undisclosed) will be able to return at some point during the Wild's upcoming three-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Bogosian has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jets, but his return appears to be imminent. Minnesota's upcoming road trip begins Saturday in Buffalo and runs through Tuesday in Montreal, and while it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for all three road matchups, his absence will likely come to an end after approximately two weeks. Over his three appearances leading up to his absence, he recorded two assists, two hits and two PIM while averaging 14:48 of ice time.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Not playing Thursday

    Eriksson Ek (lower body) is doubtful Thursday against the Jets, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

    Eriksson Ek is getting closer to returning and will travel with the team when they are in Buffalo on Saturday. Eriksson Ek will miss his third straight game Thursday and has 11 goals and 32 points across 45 appearances this season.

  • Wild's Jonas Brodin: Week-to-week

    Brodin (lower body) is week-to-week, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.

    Brodin could miss the Olympics, as he was named to Team Sweden in December. The defenseman has been bothered by this injury since December, when he sat out four games. Brodin has three goals and 15 points with 91 blocked shots across 42 appearances this season. Look for David Spacek to enter the lineup in place of Brodin.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: First goalie off Thursday

    Wallstedt was the first goalie off during Thursday's morning skate, Joe Smith of The Athletic reports, signaling that he'll draw the home start against the Jets.

    Wallstedt and Filip Gustavsson have alternated starts over the past month, but Wallstedt will be in the net for a second consecutive game Thursday for the first time since early November. Wallstedt hasn't been particularly sharp over his last four starts, going 1-1-2 with a 3.35 GAA and .886 save percentage. However, he's made a pair of road starts against Winnipeg this year, going 2-0-0 with a 1.53 GAA and .948 save percentage.

  • Wild's David Spacek: Recalled Wednesday

    Spacek was called up from AHL Iowa on Wednesday.

    The Wild may have an injury concern on their blue line, or they may just be adding Spacek to the roster ahead of a three-game road trip that begins Saturday in Buffalo. In any case, Spacek is with the big club. He has 19 points in 35 AHL contests.

  • Wild's Marcus Foligno: Strikes on late power play

    Foligno scored a power-play goal on three shots, added two PIM, doled out three hits and went minus-2 in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Foligno has two goals and two assists over his last seven games for his best stretch of offense this season. While his tally Monday came on the power play, it was his first goal with the man advantage since 2021-22, as he rarely sees time in that situation. He's at six points, 39 shots on net, 36 PIM, 119 hits, 36 blocked shots and a minus-11 rating through 37 contests overall.

  • Wild's Ryan Hartman: Tickles twine in loss

    Hartman scored a goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Devils.

    Hartman has scored three times over the last four contests. The 31-year-old continues to see a boost in usage while Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) works his way back into action. Hartman is up to 12 goals, 19 points, 82 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 38 hits, 21 PIM and a minus-5 rating over 43 outings this season. While he's toned down the physicality a bit, Hartman remains a decent all-around depth forward for fantasy.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Burned by Devils

    Wallstedt turned aside 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to New Jersey.

    The game was close through two periods, but the Devils broke it open with three goals in just over two minutes during the third. Wallstedt didn't get a lot of help from his defense on the night -- all five New Jersey tallies came from in close, as Minnesota couldn't keep the front of the crease clear. It was Wallstedt's first regulation loss since Dec. 21, and on the season, he's gone 12-3-4 in 19 outings with a 2.42 GAA and a .921 save percentage.

  • Wild's Joel Eriksson Ek: Remains out against Devils

    Eriksson Ek (lower body) will not be in the lineup versus New Jersey on Monday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Eriksson Ek will miss his second straight game due to his lower-body problem, but he continues to be classified as day-to-day. Over his last 11 outings, the 28-year-old center generated four goals, four assists and 34 shots while averaging 18:26 of ice time. Once given the all-clear, Eriksson Ek should reclaim a spot in the top six for the Wild in addition to seeing power-play minutes.

  • Wild's Jesper Wallstedt: Tending twine against New Jersey

    Wallstedt will start Monday's home game against the Devils, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

    Walllstedt has alternated starts with Filip Gustavsson for nearly a month, and that trend will continue Monday. Over Wallstedt's last five outings, he's gone 2-1-2 with a 3.12 GAA and .901 save percentage. The Devils are scoring 2.56 goals per game this season, which is the third-worst mark in the league.

  • Wild's Adam Benak: Hat trick, assist in win

    Benak scored three goals and added an assist in OHL Brantford's 7-3 win over Windsor on Sunday.

    Benak has put up six points over three games since he returned from the World Junior Championship. Representing Czechia, the center earned eight points (one goal, seven assists) over seven contests during the tournament, showcasing his playmaking skills. Benak now has 19 goals and 30 helpers through 29 appearances with the Bulldogs this season, and he should continue to excel for a competitive team.

  • Wild's Daemon Hunt: Nabs helper in overtime loss

    Hunt notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    The assist was Hunt's first point in two games since he returned from missing 10 contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old is filling a third-pairing role now that he's healthy again, giving him low fantasy upside. He's earned three assists, four shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-4 rating over 14 outings this season.

  • Wild's Quinn Hughes: Contributes three more assists

    Hughes posted three assists, including one on the power play, and eight shots on goal in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Hughes has earned 12 helpers over his last eight contests. The dynamic defenseman's offense has been as steady as ever with 16 points across 14 contests since the Wild acquired him from the Canucks. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to three goals, 36 assists, 18 power-play points, 111 shots on net, 46 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 40 appearances.

  • Wild's Ben Jones: Scores for first NHL point

    Jones scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.

    Jones, a seventh-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2017, has finally joined the ranks of NHL scorers. He opened the scoring Saturday at 2:51 of the first period with his first career goal and point, coming in his 49th appearance. The 26-year-old has added 19 shots on net, 51 hits and a minus-5 rating over 21 contests with the Wild this season. Jones looks to have a chance to play regularly as long as Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body) is out.
