Minnesota Wild

For the past week, Zach Parise was carrying some extra weight with him around the ice. The Minnesota Wild were actively talking about trading him.

NHL fans must've wondered why Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau started popping up on their Twitter feeds playing catch out in the snow.

The team announced Friday morning they were parting ways with Boudreau midway through the final year of his four-year contract with the team.

Kevin Fiala kept up his recent surge for Minnesota with a goal and two assists, and the Wild beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0.

Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba has been fined $5,000 for slashing Vegas Golden Knights forward Ryan Reaves.

The Wild send Zucker to the Penguins for forward Alex Galchenyuk, defensive prospect Calen Addison, and a conditional 2020 first-round draft pick.

The Wild will host Vancouver Thursday night at Xcel Energy Center. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. on AM 1390, Granite City Sports.
