Bedard, Knight Propel Blackhawks Past Wild 2-1 in Minnesota

Connor Bedard and Ilya Mikheyev scored for the Blackhawks while Spencer Knight stood tall in goal as Chicago defeated the Minnesota Wild 2-1 in Minnesota, snapping the Wild’s longer point streak against the Hawks. The win featured a strong opening period, a young, physical lineup (including Levshunov and Del Mastro) and a tense late stretch where Chicago killed a 5-on-3 penalty. Kirill Kaprizov was day-to-day for Minnesota, and the Hawks’ win marked their first at Minnesota since 2017, with Bedard delivering a showtime second period and Knight sealing the victory.

Foligno Rumors Put Jackets and Wild in Market for Veteran Forward

Foligno Rumors Put Jackets and Wild in Market for Veteran Forward

ESPN’s Emily Kaplan reports the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild have inquired with the Chicago Blackhawks about Nick Foligno. Foligno, a longtime Blue Jacket captain who played 599 games for Columbus, would be a low-cost veteran depth addition; Columbus wouldn’t need Chicago to retain his $4.5M cap hit, while Minnesota could use him as depth on the hunt for a top-six center, though cap-space and retention logistics—especially with Chicago’s retention slots filled—could complicate any deal and might require a third team. If acquired by Minnesota, Foligno could even line up with his brother Marcus, adding an interesting dynamic to the scenario.}
