Minnesota rolls into Ball Arena with fresh legs after GM Bill Guerin recalls gritty forward Ben Jones and defenseman Matt Kiersted from Iowa, injecting bottom-six bite into a lineup that's battled injuries all season. Colorado sits atop the Central with Nathan MacKinnon's league-leading 93 points fueling their home dominance, while Kirill Kaprizov chases him with 70 for the Wild holding the first wild card.
Quinn Hughes lands with the Wild from Vancouver on December 12 and immediately rewires their blue line, racking up 57 points in 52 games while anchoring the top pair with Kirill Kaprizov. His Olympic heroics in Milano Cortina - from OT winners to record assists - prove why GM Bill Guerin shelled out the farm for him, turning a middling defense into a juggernaut.
Elliotte Friedman, the guy who hears whispers before they hit the wind, just unveiled the biggest twist yet in the Minnesota Wild's marathon talks with Kirill Kaprizov. Sources close to the negotiations confirm this development shifts the entire landscape for a star who's held all the cards through a tense summer standoff. With the cap climbing and UFA freedom looming, Bill Guerin's front office faces make-or-break pressure to lock in their Russian sniper before rivals circle.
Bill Guerin finally locks up Kirill Kaprizov with a monster eight-year, $136 million extension, but he admits the Wild shelled out big to keep their star from testing the open market next summer. Kaprizov turned down a record offer before camp that would have shattered NHL history, leaving Guerin sweating the worst-case scenario of suitors like Edmonton lining up with cap space.
The IIHF's ongoing ban on Russia for the 2026 Milan Olympics sidelines a murderers' row of NHL talent that would've made their roster a gold-medal juggernaut. Stars like Alex Ovechkin, Nikita Kucherov, Kirill Kaprizov, and goalie studs Igor Shesterkin and Andrei Vasilevskiy sit this one out, gutting what could've been the deepest lineup in the tournament.
Kirill Kaprizov continues to torment NHL defenses as the Minnesota Wild's alternate captain and sniper extraordinaire, fresh off a monstrous stretch with seven goals in his last nine games. The 28-year-old Russian wizard, who inked the league's richest contract last fall, owns franchise records from his rookie Calder days through his 100-point explosions.
