The Minnesota Wild have faced their biggest test this season: playing without veteran winger Mats Zuccarello for potentially a month. Zuccarello is a dual-threat playmaker and scorer. However, he underwent surgery last week and is reportedly out for three to four weeks after scoring six goals and 14 points in 16 games. It’s a tough… Continue reading The Wild Need Marcus Johansson To Step Up – Minnesota Wild

Declan Chisholm Is Making Himself Impossible To Ignore – Minnesota Wild
I’m not an NHL coach, and that’s for a good reason. However, to me, there is no good reason that Declan Chisholm shouldn’t be skating every game for the Minnesota Wild. The Wild acquired Chisholm on waivers from the Winnipeg Jets on January 29, 2024, more than halfway through last season. Chisholm was a standout… Continue reading Declan Chisholm Is Making Himself Impossible To Ignore – Minnesota Wild
Kirill Kaprizov Scares Every Single Wild Fan
That’s Wild Halloween was almost an entire month ago but that didn’t stop Minnesota Wild star Kirill Kaprizov from giving us a massive fright on Thursday night. Against the Edmonton Oilers, he collided knee-on-knee with Drake Caggiula and missed a good portion of the game. Thankfully, Kapriz… https://hockeywilderness.com/news-rumors/wilderness-walk/kirill-kaprizov-scares-every-single-wild-fan-r30364/
Mats Zuccarello Really Suffered Quite A Lower-Body Injury – Wilderness Walk
I have a feeling this will be more than 3-4 weeks. If I read it correctly, it’s 3-4 weeks without lifting anything. Then there’s rehab and restrengthening. It seems to me that this might be about a 6 week injury, coming back right after Christmas. I think I’d be ready to LTIR him. We’re headed… Continue reading Mats Zuccarello Really Suffered Quite A Lower-Body Injury – Wilderness Walk
Mat Zuccarello Really Suffered Quite A Lower-Body Injury
That’s Wild Mats Zuccarello suffered a lower-body injury on Nov. 14, and it was quite a lower-body injury. After getting struck in the cup by a Brock Faber slapshot and had a “massive dent” in the protective equipment, Zuccarello suffered a ruptured testicle and some of his Wild teammates gi… https://hockeywilderness.com/news-rumors/wilderness-walk/mat-zuccarello-really-suffered-quite-a-lower-body-injury-r30361/
Will Fleury Be Fully Appreciated In His Final Season? – Minnesota Wild
In many cases, complaining about a backup goalie not getting enough ice time is a good thing, and that’s the case for the Minnesota Wild this year. Through 17 games, the Wild have shown no reason to return to a 50/50 goaltending tandem like the last two seasons. Despite losing three of his last five… Continue reading Will Fleury Be Fully Appreciated In His Final Season? – Minnesota Wild
Daemon Hunt Recalled With Jonas Brodin Questionable – Wilderness Walk
Another thing. Ogie in the AHL, has four goals in four games. His shot is NHL level. I thought he should have been on the line with Ek where they have NoJo. It’s interesting to see the Wild keep NoJo playing in that spot no matter what. He has been brutal yet. Against CHI, -2… Continue reading Daemon Hunt Recalled With Jonas Brodin Questionable – Wilderness Walk
Marco Rossi Is Still Looking For the Benefit Of the Doubt – Minnesota Wild
In hockey, you often ride the hot hand. Great chemistry between players is rarely the result of struggling and then finding a breakthrough. Usually, you have it or you don’t, and once you have it, coaches are loathe to give it up. So it’s a bit eyebrow-raising that on Sunday, John Hynes broke up his… Continue reading Marco Rossi Is Still Looking For the Benefit Of the Doubt – Minnesota Wild
Do the Wild Have the Makeup Of A Bona Fide Contender? – Minnesota Wild
What makes a Stanley Cup team? Some may say offense, some defense. Ultimately, the team with the most goals wins, and that’s just what the Minnesota Wild have been doing. But does that mean they’re a contender? The Wild have passed the eye test since the beginning of this season, at least as far as… Continue reading Do the Wild Have the Makeup Of A Bona Fide Contender? – Minnesota Wild
Will Devin Shore Maximize His Opportunity In St. Louis? – Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild announced they will call up Devin Shore and Ben Jones to fill in the forward spots left by multiple injuries. Joel Eriksson Ek and Mats Zuccarello suffered injuries during Thursday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens. Eriksson Ek is day-to-day, but Zuccarello underwent surgery on Friday, and the Wild placed him on injured… Continue reading Will Devin Shore Maximize His Opportunity In St. Louis? – Minnesota Wild
