Wild Making History With New Broadcast

That's Wild

• To celebrate the Minnesota Wild's Native American Heritage Day this Friday, the team and FanDuel Sports Network are putting on the first-ever Ojibwe-language hockey broadcast of an NHL game. The historic broadcast will be available on the FanDuel Sports Network website and app. More on the very cool upcoming broadcast: [NHL.com]
• The Wild's entire indentity this season has been wrapped up in their goalie duo. Sure, some stars are still scoring points and the blue line has some new and exciting talent on it, but you can point to the crease for a whole lot of the core reason why they are bouncing back. [Hockey Wilderness]
• After returning back to St. Paul, defenseman Daemon Hunt has found a home away from home. [StarTribune]
• Yakov Trenin is returning to form as one of the NHL's top hitmen. [Pioneer Press]

Off the trail...

• The Edmonton Oilers got embarrassed by the Dallas Stars and Leon Draisaitl is making a big blanket statement and saying that, well, everything is terrible. [TheScore]
• Speaking of another miserable Canadian NHL team, the Toronto Maple Leafs might be getting Auston Matthews back on Wednesday. Could this be what turns their season around? Probably not but at least makes their games more palatable. [NHL.com]
• Not to make it an all-Canada section, but the Vancouver Canucks are another terrible team and they might just try to sell off as many veterans as they can. And of course, that might come at the eventual expense of their best possible player in franchise history, in Quinn Hughes. [Sportsnet]
