Blackhawks trade captain Nick Foligno to Wild, joining brother Marcus in Minnesota www.nytimes.com/athletic/709...
Just got off phone with Marcus Foligno. I joked that this will speed up his rehab: "Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow."
He says his dad's bawling, everybody's pumped, wives are going nuts. Dream come true, he says, and feels Nick will be a contributor. Has played center all year, too
Sources say #mnwild acquiring Nick Foligno, who came close to signing to play with his brother in 2021. Chose Boston in tough decision
Not that they'll necessarily play together, but John Wroblewski told me Bobby Brink and Matt Boldy had "unreal chemistry" at the 2019 Under-18s and he'll "thrive under Hynesy."
Brink is hustling to Las Vegas and the anticipation is he'll make his #mnwild debut tonight against the Golden Knights
I know a lot was made when John Tortorella scratched Bobby Brink in Minnesota a few years ago (where he's from), but from what I gather, Torts loved Brink and felt he became a true pro and that Guerin/Kelleher talked to Tortorella a lot about Brink at the Olympics
#mnwild acquire winger Bobby Brink, send prospect David Jiricek to Flyers: Sources

done deal. Brink, who is a Minnetonka native, is a skilled winger. Smart, really good offensive instincts, can make plays, high compete and character. #mnwild see him as third-line right wing who can move up in lineup if needed. Pending RFA this summer
Hearing the #mnwild are working toward a potential trade for Flyers forward Bobby Brink. Wonder if they're dangling David Jiricek or a prospect of that ilk.

Updated #mnwild trade tracker: Minnesota gets Petry cheap, pursuit of Trocheck fades as price remains too high
By @JoeSmithNHL and me

Petry will join team in Vegas. Understands this is a depth move and he'll have Faber, Spurgeon and Bogosian in front of him. Gist of the trade is to give the #mnwild right-shot D depth along with Daemon Hunt providing left-shot D depth. Remember, no max roster after Friday at 2

MEATY #mnwild takeaways by @JoeSmithNHL and me on Kaprizov breaking team goals record, another stupendous game from Hughes and Boldy, Trenin's hilarious goal with nobody to celebrate with, Fabbri's debut and injury updates (Foligno, Johansson, Brodin)

Kirill Kaprizov breaks Wildβs all-time goals mark in win over Lightning: Takeaways www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...
#mnwild have now gone 62 games without losing more than 2 in a row in regulation. Beat best team in East, best road team in NHL. Wild 16-3 all-time vs. TB at home and 10-3-1 in past 14 overall vs. TB.
3 assists Boldy, 2 points each Zuccarello, Faber, Hughes
There it is: Kirill Kaprizov's 220th goal into an empty net to set the #mnwild all-time franchise record. Did it in 381 games
Quinn Hughes highlight-reel goal. 4-1
Kaprizov may never break Gaborik's record. Force field in front of Vassy tonight. 3 gimme's from the same spot and none find the back of the net. The last one, he had the entire net and hit the far post. Head to the rafters
2-minute minor for interference. Don't get that being downgraded. Raddysh sees the puck is not with Johansson and instead of going into the puck checks Johansson in the face. With an injury, that's a major all day long
Darren Raddysh may have earned himself a 5-minute interference major. Shoulder to Johansson's face and he leaves the game hurt. Being reviewed
Yakov Trenin gets it back. Unforced error by Vasilevskiy. Couldn't smother a sliding, slow puck sent his way and just gave it to Trenin for slam dunk. Trenin leaps into the glass after scoring on his countryman. 3-1
Beautiful goal. Kucherov from Point and Guentzel. Gus had no chance. 2-1 Wild
Hinostroza tripping minor on Cirelli
Lightning marching to the box. Another high-sticking minor, this time by Point, their third of the game, on Johansson. 1:20 Wild 4-on-3
2-0 #mnwild. Mats Zuccarello from Quinn Hughes after a poised play by Hughes at blue line to save possession
I lied. Cirelli high-sticking minor. 46-second Wild 4-on-3
Kaprizov tripped McDonagh with a minute left in the PP. 4-on-4 for 60 ticks
Terrific save by Gustavsson on a Cirelli to Hagel one-timer on a 2-on-1. Spurgeon's really hurting on the bench. His last shift, something gave out on him. He's staying on bench, but bet he aggravated last game's injury
