Minnesota Wild Place Brock Faber on Injured List Following Preseason Skull Fracture

Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber will miss the start of the 2026-27 season after undergoing surgery for a skull fracture sustained during a preseason game. The 24-year-old was struck in the ear area by a shot from Dallas Stars forward Sam Steel on Friday, leading to an indefinite absence. General Manager Bill Guerin confirmed Faber is on the injured list with no return timeline, while coach John Hynes noted the team must redistribute his heavy minutes and special teams responsibilities among remaining players, including captain Jared Spurgeon and Daemon Hunt.

Quinn Hughes Prioritizes Rest Over Rushing Minnesota Extension Amidst Record-Setting NHL Market

Quinn Hughes has no intention of signing a contract extension with the Minnesota Wild before training camp, stating he wants to take his time to ensure the decision benefits all parties. While the league is anxious about his future, Hughes remains relaxed, citing a restful summer and strong relationships with the team. His current contract expires in 2027, and he is eligible for an extension now, though the maximum term drops from eight to seven years under the new CBA in September. The Wild's GM Bill Guerin remains confident in re-signing him, while Hughes cites the record-breaking deal of Cale Makar as a market benchmark but insists he is not feeling pressure.
