What’s Behind the Wild’s Improved Penalty Kill? – Minnesota Wild
Drink if you’ve heard this before: the Minnesota Wild have a penalty-killing problem. It wasn’t always like this. Before the 2020s, the Wild were synonymous with good shorthanded play. It made sense, given their staunch defensive reputation, which has returned in the 2024-25 season. Strangely, the penalty kill has not followed suit. It seems that… Continue reading What’s Behind the Wild’s Improved Penalty Kill? – Minnesota Wild
Will the Wild Lapse Into A Sunk Cost Fallacy With Brazeau? – Minnesota Wild

Can Justin Brazeau Become the Player He Was Earlier This Season? – Minnesota Wild
On March 6, the Minnesota Wild traded Marat Khusnutdinov, Jakub Lauko, and a 2026 sixth-round pick for Boston Bruins forward Justin Brazeau. All three players are young and early in their careers but have potential despite limited performance. Often, a change of scenery is the key to unlocking better performance.

What Do We Make Of Matt Boldy’s Down Season? – Minnesota Wild
It was easy to come away from Monday’s 3-1 win over the Los Angeles Kings and think that Matt Boldy was a difference-maker for the Minnesota Wild.
