Filip Gustavsson Pushing Wild To Good Results

That's Wild

• Just as the Minnesota Wild's schedule starts to get a little bit more difficult, as they try to remain in the playoffs, goaltender Filip Gustavsson is standing tall and the Wild are getting the best version of him. [The Athletic]
• With trade rumors swirling, the Wild cannot underestimate the value of having a few very good centers on your team. [Hockey Wilderness]
• The Wild locked up sizeable and bruising 20-year-old defenseman Steven Loskovar to an entry-level contract. He was drafted by the Wild in the sixth round of the 2024 NHL Draft. [BMTN]
• Wild recalled Liam Ohgren just a day after sending him back down to AHL Iowa, but as the team mentions, now due to the injuries this team currently has, they got him back under emergency conditions. Oh, and defenseman Cameron Crotty is here too. [Wild]

Off the trail...

• The teams involved in this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs are somewhat decided. The race is on for the Wild Card positions, but we certainly know the possibilities. With that in mind, ranking who the true contenders are of the bunch. [ESPN]
• In Sunday night's Kings-Bruins game, we almost had a wonderful goalie fight but the refs ruined it. We need clarification because Darcy Kuemper vs. Jeremy Swayman had hype.
• After being involved in the JT Miller trade, young blueliner Victor Mancini has no bad blood against the Rangers for dealing him out west. [THN]
• The Montreal Canadiens might make the real, non-COVID playoffs for the first time in a while and the entire city is abuzz. [NHL.com]
