Minnesota Wild News & Notes

Minnesota currently sits second in the Central Division and has a little over $1m in cap space. While the Wild have been able to add young players like Jiricek and Faber in recent years, the additional cap space coming this offseason could turn the Wild into a playoff powerhouse.

Dallas Stars News & Notes

Dallas is currently 4th in the Central Division and has a glaring hole in the lineup with the absence of Tyler Seguin. Can they replace his offensive production before the Trade Deadline? That’s the top question in Dallas.

Johansson-Hartman-Boldy

Foligno-Gaudreau-Jones

Gaunce-Khusnutdinov-Shore
