While the Minnesota Twins are reportedly expected to reveal who the Pohlad family's new limited partners are at some point this month, one such partner is believed to be Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold.

There was a lot going on, but it was pretty cool,” Kiersted said on Tuesday, reflecting on his time as a youth hockey player.

The Minnesota Wild sit at 19-9-5 ahead of a Tuesday night game with the Washington Capitals. The matchup marks defenseman Quinn Hughes’ second game with the Wild, and a return from injury for winger Marcus Foligno. Foligno was activated off I.R. Tuesday afternoon.

Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold says he wants the Canadian players to feel supported in the state during the 2026 world juniors.

And while it’s still early, Hughes sounded like a superstar who appreciated so much how he was valued — and how much Guerin gave up — that he’d strongly consider re-signing with the Wild when he becomes a unrestricted free agent in 2027.

St. PAUL, Minn. -- Quinn Hughes scored in his debut with the Minnesota Wild, a 6-2 win against the Boston Bruins at Grand Casino Arena on Sunday. Hughes made it 4-0 just 54 seconds into the third period with wrist shot from the high slot that beat Jeremy Swayman five-hole.

Earlier today, the Minnesota Wild made their activation of veteran winger Marcus Foligno from injured reserve official, and reassigned Hunter Haight to their AHL affiliate, the Iowa Wild.
