| C | 1 | Eric Staal  ActiveEric Staal has been medically cleared from the concussion he suffered in Minnesota's last game of the year. "He feels better and has passed all the tests. Physically, he'd be able to play an NHL game right now," said GM Chuck Fletcher. "So the feeling is he's in a good spot. We all feel a bit fortunate. It was a bad injury. He'll have a summer where he'll be healthy and be able to prepare, so that’s a positive in view of how ugly that incident could have been." Staal crashed head-first into the end boards on Apr. 22 against St. Louis. May 17 |
| 2 | Mikko Koivu ActiveMikko Koivu has earned a nomination for the Selke Trophy. Surprisingly, he is a first-time finalist. Koivu finished fourth in Selke voting in 2009. He set career-highs in 2016-17 with plus-27 rating and 65 blocked shots, while recording 58 points in 80 games. Koivu will face stiff competition for the award from fellow finalists Boston's Patrice Bergeron and Anaheim's Ryan Kesler. Apr 20 |
| 3 | Martin Hanzal ActiveMartin Hanzal enjoyed his time with the Minnesota Wild, but he isn't sure if he will be back with the team next year. "I was really happy here so if there's a chance for me to stay here, I would love to," said Hanzal. "But that would have to be both sides agreeing on that. I enjoyed it. I loved it here. ... I've never been a free agent. It’s going to be a new experience. I have no idea right now to be honest which teams or whatever. I have to wait for the offers and see what happens." He would like a long-term deal, but the Wild have to sign RFAs Mikael Granlund and Nino Niederreiter, while giving players like Joel Eriksson Ek and Luke Kunin looks at NHL spots. It may not be the right fit for the team to bring back Hanzal, but that determination has not been made yet. Apr 27 |
| 4 | Erik Haula ActiveErik Haula (undisclosed) is ready to return for Game 5 on Saturday. Haula sustained the injury in Game 2 and then aggravated it by playing in Game 3. He was unable to participate in Wednesday's contest as a result. Haula had 15 goals and 26 points in 72 regular season contests. Apr 21 |
| 5 | Joel Eriksson Ek ActiveJoel Eriksson Ek will be a healthy scratch in Game 5 against St. Louis on Saturday afternoon. Eriksson Ek has played in three of his team's four playoff games, but he hasn't registered a point during that span. Jordan Schroeder, Christian Folin and Darcy Kuemper will also watch from the press box. Apr 22 |
| LW | 1 | Zach Parise ActiveZach Parise scored a power play goal in Friday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. Parise tied the game with a power play goal late in the second period. It looked like this game was heading to overtime, but Blues forward Jaden Schwartz broke the 1-1 tie with less than three minutes remaining in regulation. Parise now has two goals in two games this postseason. The Wild are in a difficult position now, as they've dropped the first two games of the series on home ice. Game 3 will go Sunday afternoon in St. Louis. Apr 14 |
| 2 | Mikael Granlund ActiveMikael Granlund had been playing through a broken hand in the playoffs. His recovery time is set for four-to-six weeks. Granlund had two assists in five games against St. Louis in the postseason. During the regular season, he broke out with 26 goals and 69 points in 81 matches. Apr 25 |
| 3 | Jason Zucker ActiveJason Zucker's sports hernia surgery was a success. The Wild announced after the operation that Zucker should be healthy in time for the start of training camp after he had bilateral core muscle repair surgery. He had 22 goals and 47 points in 79 regular season contests. May 4 |
| 4 | Jordan Schroeder ActiveJordan Schroeder will be scratched in Game 4 Wednesday night, as the Wild face elimination, down 3-0 in the series against the Blues. The undersized winger hasn't dressed yet in the postseason, so this shouldn't come as a big surprise. Joining him in the press box will be defenseman Christian Folin. Apr 19 |
| 5 | Ryan Carter ActiveRyan Carter successfully cleared waivers. Carter signed with Minnesota and needed to clear waivers as a result. He had seven goals and 12 points in 60 contests with the Wild in 2015-16. Feb 27 |
| RW | 1 | Nino Niederreiter ActiveOther teams have calling the Wild about Nino Niederreiter, but GM Chuck Fletcher wants to keep him on the team. "We're going to try to find a way to keep them both here," Fletcher said of RFAs Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund. "Certainly there are ways to do it, but you can't control everything. We need the cap ceiling, we need to know what will happen with expansion, there are other opportunities out there to improve our team. [Granlund and Niederreiter] are two more decisions we have to make within the context of a lot of other decisions that we'll have to make. It's challenging. There's obstacles. But it's actually exciting. There will be opportunities here to consider things that maybe we normally haven't considered the last couple summers. It's energizing." Niederreiter and Granlund are both eligible for arbitration, but that probably wouldn't be the best course of action because a two-year contract would take them to unrestricted free agency. May 17 |
| 2 | Jason Pominville ActiveJason Pominville now has points in three of his last four games. He picked up an assist during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche, giving him two goals and four points over his last five games. For the season, Pominville has 13 goals and 46 points in 75 games. Apr 2 |
| 3 | Charlie Coyle ActiveCharlie Coyle believes the Minnesota Wild can push the Blues in their best-of-seven series. Minnesota was able to cut their deficit to 3-1 in the series thanks to a big win in Game 4. Even though the odds aren't in their favor, Coyle believes his team can make a comeback. "I think it's huge," Coyle said of Minnesota's Game 4 win. "We get that win, and all of a sudden, they're second-guessing. They're still in the driver's seat, but they're second-guessing. The pressure's on, and now they're thinking, 'We're going back home, Game 6; if we lose this one, it's Game 7 back in their barn.' And they're starting to doubt themselves. It's such a mental thing here. That's what you learn as it goes along." Apr 22 |
| 4 | Chris Stewart ActiveChris Stewart is expected to return from illness and play in Saturday's match with Arizona. The rugged winger has posted 13 goals and 21 points 82 hits and 94 PIMs in 78 games this season. He's slated to skate to the left of Mikko Koivu and Jason Pominville on Minnesota's second line. Apr 8 |
| 5 | Ryan White ActiveRyan White, Nate Prosser and Jordan Schroeder are each expected to be scratched in Game 2 against the Wild on Friday. White posted three points with 49 hits in 19 games since joining Minnesota. Prosser picked up six goals and 13 points over 39 games. Schroeder meanwhile amassed seven points in 37 games. Apr 14 |
| D | 1 | Ryan Suter ActiveIt is believed that Ryan Suter played in the playoffs with an upper-body injury. It's unclear if he will require surgery at this time. Several Wild players played hurt in the postseason and some needed procedures following the team's first-round exit. May 4 |
| 2 | Jared Spurgeon  SidelinedJared Spurgeon (lower body) won't play Saturday versus Arizona. Through 76 games this season the talented defender has posted 10 goals and 38 points along with 140 blocks. He is considered day-to-day. Apr 8 |
| 3 | Matt Dumba ActiveMatt Dumba had one goal and one assist as the Wild lost a 3-2 contest to the Rangers Saturday night. Dumba had an assist on Eric Staal’s first period goal that opened the scoring for the night. He scored on a power play at 4:51 in the third to draw the Wild to within one, but Minnesota failed to score again. Dumba has scored five points in his last six games with a pair of goals and three assists. Mar 18 |
| 4 | Jonas Brodin ActiveJonas Brodin and Joel Eriksson Ek will represent Sweden at the upcoming IIHF World Championships. Brodin had 25 points in 68 games during the regular season for the Wild, while Erikssson Ek produced seven points in 15 NHL appearances. Apr 27 |
| 5 | Marco Scandella ActiveMarco Scandella has undergone arthroscopic hip surgery. The Minnesota rearguard is expected to be ready for training camp. Scandella had 13 points along with 50 hits and 85 blocks in 71 games in 2016-17. May 2 |
| 6 | Christian Folin ActiveChristian Folin (shoulder) is expected to be ready for training camp in the fall. He underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery for a labral tear on Monday. Folin originally suffered the injury back in March. May 1 |
| 7 | Nate Prosser ActiveNate Prosser had a goal and an assist in Thursday's 4-3 win over Colorado. Prosser has scored two goals in the last three games. He has never scored more than two goals in a single season during his NHL career. Prosser has seven points in 38 appearances this season, so his recent play qualifies as a major hot streak for him. Apr 7 |
| 8 | Victor Bartley ActiveVictor Bartley is projected to spend Game 3 on Sunday in the press box. Bartley has been taken off the injured reserve list after missing the entire regular season with a triceps injury. Even if he's healthy, it's not surprising that he's being held out of the lineup for now given his lack of recent playing time. Apr 16 |
| 9 | Mike Reilly ActiveMike Reilly has joined the Minnesota Wild as part of the team's "Black Aces" squad. Gustav Olofsson, Alex Tuch, Tyler Graovac, Ryan Carter, Christoph Bertschy, Kurtis Gabriel, Pat Cannone, Zack Mitchell, Sam Anas, Zach Palmquist, Nick Seeler, Hunter Warner, Mike Weber and Steve Michalek were also recalled. Luke Kunin and Carson Soucy are with the big club as well, but they can't play because their contracts do not start until next season. Minnesota also summoned Gustav Bouramman from Sault Ste. Marie of the OHL. They will practice separately from the main group. Apr 21 |
| G | 1 | Devan Dubnyk ActiveDevan Dubnyk allowed four goals on 27 shots in Saturday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the St. Louis Blues. The loss officially puts an end to Minnesota’s season, as they lost the series in five games. The Wild overcame 2-0 and 3-1 deficits in regulation only to lose on a Magnus Paajarvi goal in overtime. It’s a disappointing way for the Wild’s season to end. They led the Central Division for most of the regular season, but they collapsed over the final few weeks. Dubnyk ends the postseason with a 1-4 record, a 1.86 goals-against-average and a .925 save percentage. Apr 22 |
| 2 | Darcy Kuemper ActiveDarcy Kuemper (illness) took part in Friday's practice. Kuemper was scratched in Game 4 because he was battling the disease. Given that he's resumed practicing, he's probably fine to serve as the Wild's backup goaltender in Game 5. Apr 21 |
| 3 | Alex Stalock ActiveThe Minnesota Wild have recalled Alex Stalock from Iowa of the American Hockey League. Stalock will serve as the third goaltender in Minnesota. He has started two NHL games this season, allowing just three goals on 54 shots. Apr 15 |
