Minnesota Wild Schedule 2025
Minnesota Wild Seating Charts
The Wild enter 2025–2026 after a 45-30-7 season (97 points), finishing 4th in the Central and 7th in the West, with a first-round exit to Vegas. Headliners among Minnesota Wild players include Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, and Filip Gustavsson, who posted 31 wins and earned a new multi-year deal. Lock in a night in Saint Paul and catch this core pushing the pace: grab seats at Event Tickets Center for the next step in the Wild’s climb.
Home nights crackle when division foes visit, especially if the Colorado Avalanche and the Chicago Blackhawks are in town, as these matchups reliably spike the volume and the tempo. Expect hard forechecks, crease traffic, and late-game swings as the Wild lean on Kaprizov’s shot creation and Boldy’s two-way punch while the building rides every save. Circle those rivalry dates early; this is the kind of NHL drama that turns regular-season points into statement wins.
In the Minnesota Wild standings, last year’s group slotted 7th in the West, a seed that underscores how thin the margins are for home-ice in April. Franchise history runs through names like Marian Gaborik and Mikko Koivu, while today’s spotlight sits on Kaprizov, driving top-line scoring, and Joel Eriksson Ek anchoring tough matchups. With Gustavsson steadying the net, the Wild chase incremental gains that move them up the conference ladder.
The Minnesota Wild arena has a new banner identity, Grand Casino Arena, after a 2025 naming-rights deal; longtime fans still know it as Xcel Energy Center, a venue built for hockey sight lines and big-event nights. The building has hosted major tournaments, concerts, and community showcases, so checking the calendar for Xcel Energy Center events (now Grand Casino Arena events) is part of game-day planning. Capacity for hockey sits around 18,000, keeping the noise tight and the angles clean.
Minnesota’s postseason arc includes multiple spring runs, but no trips to the Stanley Cup Finals; their closest brush came in 2003’s conference final. Last season ended in the First Round (4–2 vs. Vegas Knights), a bar the club aims to clear by nudging special-teams rates and late-game shot share. With Kaprizov healthy and Gustavsson locked in, the ingredients for a deeper push are in place if they secure a stronger seed.
Ready for a Saint Paul night where the anthem chills roll straight into board-rattling shifts?
