An up-to-date 2024-25 Minnesota Wild depth chart, along with projected lines for their next NHL game and current salary cap situation.

Marcus Johansson was the latest Wild player to get hurt. It came at the end of the second period. Johansson, 34, has played in 44 of the team's 45 games this year. He has five goals and 16 points. The 6-foot-1 forward was in the defensive zone when he caught an elbow from Edmonton Oilers forward Connor McDavid.

The infraction did not result in a penalty during the game, nor any response from NHL Player Safety afterward.

Wild head coach John Hynes was pretty frustrated after the game about the non-call on McDavid's elbow. He didn't even want to give us an explanation or what the referee's told him.

The Minnesota Wild are trying to hang onto their spot near the top of the NHL standings, and on Friday they revealed the reinforcements are on the way.

According to The Athletic’s Michael Russo, the Wild placed Marcus Johansson on injured reserve Thursday and will miss at least a week.

Nashville (15-22-7, 37 points) beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Thursday, clinching the win with a 3-for-3 shootout performance from Gustav Nyquist, Ryan O'Reilly, and Steven Stamkos. It was the Predators' first appearance in a shootout this season.

The Minnesota Wild are set to go on the road to face the Nashville Predators. They made a few roster moves before leaving Minnesota. Liam Ohgren was recalled from the Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Kaprizov, who's been out since Dec. 23 with a lower-body injury, joined his first full practice since then on Friday as did defensemen Brock Faber (upper body) and Jared Spurgeon (lower body), according to The Athletic's Michael Russo.

The Minnesota Wild placed their top-scoring contributor on LTIR on Friday in Kirill Kaprizov because of an aggravated lower-body injury. Minnesota has been one of the NHL's biggest surprises in 2024-24, sitting in second place of the Central Division with 58 points.
