The Minnesota Wild were founded on June 25, 1997 and made their debut during the 2000/01 season as an expansion team.
The Wild are one of 10 active NHL franchises who have never won a Stanley Cup. They play their home games at the Grand Casino Arena in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and compete in the Central Division of the Western Conference.
Led by star forward Kirill Kaprizov, who currently sits atop the league's goal scoring leaderbaord, Minnesota has gotten off to a strong start in 2026/27. Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber have also helped anchor an elite defensive unit, making it difficult for opposing teams to generate quality scoring chances. There is still plenty of hockey to be played, but the Wild will aim to maintain this momentum for as long as possible.
