The Minnesota Wild opened NHL free agency on Monday by adding a pair of wingers to the roster.

With the NHL Entry Draft in the books, more than two dozen players were at Minnesota Wild Development Camp on Tuesday for the first of three days of workouts.

Matt Hendricks retired from playing after 11 seasons in the NHL and is now the assistant director of player development for the Minnesota Wild, working with Brad Bombardir.

Even though the Minnesota Wild are not playing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs right now, there is another Wild team doing well so far in the postseason.

The Minnesota Wild will continue to call the Xcel Energy Center home for at least another decade.

Something has to change. That was the tone among Minnesota Wild players and General Manager Paul Fenton on Tuesday as the team gathered to say their goodbyes for the offseason.

A shakeup is underway in the Minnesota Wild’s front office, FOX 9 Sports confirmed Monday.

Bruce Boudreau hasn’t missed the NHL Playoffs since 1997, 22 years ago. The Minnesota Wild has been a playoff team six straight years, despite early exits in each of the last three seasons. Both streaks are in jeopardy of being over after the Wild lost 4-0 at Arizona Sunday night.

The Wild is currently two points out of the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference with six regular season games left. They host the Nashville Predators Monday night and need any point they can get to remain in the playoff conversation.

Minnesota Wild Matt Dumba took the ice Wednesday for the first time since last December, when he had surgery to repair a torn pectoral muscle suffered during a fight with the Calgary Flames.

With 18 regular season games left, the Minnesota Wild is currently in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference at 68 points. The Wild added Victor Rask, Pontus Aberg, Ryan Donato and Kevin Fiala before the NHL trade deadline.

The downward spiral after the All-Star break is now starting to break in the Wild’s favor.

The Minnesota Wild sent winger Mikael Granlund to the Nashville Predators on Monday in exchange for Kevin Fiala.

For one Forest Lake girl, Sunday’s Wild game was one she’ll never forget.

The Minnesota Wild has traded 26-year-old center Charlie Coyle to the Boston Bruins. 

About the only positive the Minnesota Wild can take from their play of late is this: The teams behind them in the Western Conference aren’t taking advantage of the opportunity given them.

The Minnesota Wild is just 1-4-2 out of its bye week, and 1-4 since Mikko Koivu went down with a season-ending knee injury.

Mikko Koivu isn’t really sure what to expect the next few months. He’s never been through a season-ending injury before.
