The Minnesota Wild only needed one goal to beat the Boston Bruins on Sunday, but it didn’t come without some controversy. Morgan Geekie’s stick was slashed out of his hand on the play by Jared Spurgeon — something the officials didn’t call.

The Minnesota Wild have made their first deal of the 2025 NHL trade deadline, dealing away a future draft pick to Nashville for Gustav Nyquist.

Nyquist, 35, has nine goals and 21 points in 57 games for the Predators this season while playing on both of the team’s special team’s units.

Shane Wright scored on the power play and Kaapo Kakko added a pair of assists for the Seattle Kraken, but they couldn't dig out of a three-goal deficit in a 4-3 loss to the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.
