Will Nick Foligno banged up, Tyler Pitlick recalled to give the Wild an extra forward on the trip

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Overtime. Heckuva period by Buffalo to rally back from 2-0 down, but Wallstedt robbery on Tage Thompson (who tied the score) gets the Wild at least a point

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

2-0 #mnwild after 2. Danila Yurov and Max Shabanov score 1:45 apart. I'm going to go out on a limb and declare that's the fastest two goals in NHL history by Chelyabinsk, Russia, natives.

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Max Shabanov makes it 2-0 and has one heckuva celly. Came after Michael McCarron got away with the same kinda pick on Josh Norris that they just called Peyton Krebs on Joel Eriksson Ek. The fans are livid.

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Danila Yurov one-timer, 1-0. His first goal of the season. Hynes started the second unit after the first unit drew the penalty

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Wild power play 0 for 3. Brink deflected shot off the crossbar at the end

0110

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Blake Coleman draws a second power play. McLeod slashing

070

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Poor power play for the Wild, who also gave up a 2-on-1 that Josh Norris flubbed

080

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Was a slow start for the Wild, but they're finding their legs. Real good shift by Bobby Brink seems to have turned things a bit. 0-0 10:05 in, 2 shots apiece. Wild PK 8 for 8 now this season

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Yurov testing some things in skate. If he can’t play, Sturm will draw. Wallstedt starts

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Danila Yurov is skating this morning here in Buffalo. Left practice early yesterday

Wild get the kill, but now Spurgeon called for tripping

0100

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Big power play here for Boston. Hunt being called for two minutes for what the ref felt was intentionally knocking the net off the moorings.

090

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

3-1. Jared Spurgeon surprises DiPietro

0170

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

2-1 Wild after 2. Bruins fatigue set in late. All Wild that period. Shot advantage is now 20-14. Bruins went final 10:28 without a shot

0170

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Unreal saves by DiPietro. Robs Shabanov on a sliding save to his left, then Coleman

0150

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

5-on-3 over. Tremendous job by Bruins to keep Wild to perimeter, then DiPietro makes a great save on Kaprizov on Hughes' rebound. 8 seconds left in the 2nd PP, but Hughes needs only 6 seconds to score a PPG -- the Wild's second of the game -- for a 2-1 lead

0191

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Shabanov tripped for a 1:52 5-on-3

070

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Boldy draws his second power play. Zadorov slashed the stick out of his hand

090

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

10th goal in 8 games for Kaprizov against Boston

0180

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Shabanov's first point with the Wild. Perfect Zuccarello-like pass to the front for Kaprizov's 2nd on the season. Tie game. Eriksson Ek the second assist

0261

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Mittelstadt interference minor on Boldy. Boldy skated into his elbow on the pick. Wild PP after the kill

090

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

First penalty of the game to Ryan Hartman. Delay of game

060

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Very slow start for the Wild, but they found their game the final 6 minutes. 1-0 Bruins after 1, shot advantage 8-6

1110

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

So Minnesota Wild. Opposing goalie is 27 with 2 NHL games under his belt and none since 2022, and the Wild have gone 9 minutes to start this game without a shot

2190

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

1-0 Bruins. Bogosian missed a puck off the faceoff and Boston got it back to the point. Then Mark Kastelic made a suave backhanded pass through the crease for Tanner Jeannot's goal

Kaprizov, Hughes connect, newcomers impress in season-opening win: Wild takeaways

0240

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Wild take a 3-1 season-opening win in Nashville. Total complete effort. Outshot Preds 30-20. Kaprizov, Coleman and Nick Foligno the goals. Home opener on Saturday vs. Boston

1482

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

What a forecheck by Boldy and Kaprizov and then what a play up top by Quinn Hughes to set up Kaprizov's tip after he called for the puck

1310

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Big hit by Marcus Foligno on Brady Skjei. Hit him like a moose right through the chest

2230

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Last minute shift, Hynes loaded up with 97-14-12-43-46 and they had a great shift. Eriksson Ek ain't happy with Jake Brenk for missing his stick getting slashed on way to the net. 2-1 Wild after 2. After Josi scored, Saros made a couple great saves on Coleman and Boldy

3100

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Shabanov rips one off the pipe and the rebound just evades Kaprizov's attempt at the puck

0110

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

On a 2-on-0 between Boldy and Coleman, Saros robs Coleman after Boldy, from between the circles, gave the puck back to him to his right

270

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Just as the Hartman penalty expired, Roman Josi scores from the left circle. Wild had just cleared the zone but Preds quickly set everything up and teed Josi up for a one-timer. 2-1 Wild

070

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Hartman to the box for tripping. 3rd Preds PP

060

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

After Wallstedt made three solid saves on one shift, Wild going on the PK for the second time. Boldy high-sticking

290

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

2-0 Wild after 1. Preds got their physical game going after the overturned Wild goal, but the Wild withstood it and got out of the period. I'll be on KFAN between periods

2250

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No goal. Must be ruling that Saros couldn't challenge the shot because Hartman was a hair in the blue

580

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

3-0. Ryan Hartman's first goal of the season. Deflects Yakov Trenin's shot, but Nashville challenging goalie interference

0130

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Brink made the pass, not Hartman

0130

Michael Russo @russohockey.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Spurgeon hustles to get to a loose puck and Blake Coleman scores his first with the Wild. Yurov to Hartman to Coleman for the 2-0 lead
