ST. PAUL - Newly acquired forward Gustav Nyquist made his Wild season debut on Sunday against the Boston Bruins.

The Bruins' front office has backed them into a corner, so it's time for them to be active at the 2025 trade deadline.

With the injury-riddled Minnesota Wild struggling to score and kill penalties and trying to stave off a stumble down the standings amidst a three-game losing streak, general manager Bill Guerin traded a 2026 second-round pick to the Nashville Predators on Saturday to bring back veteran forward 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.

We’re gonna be fine. We’re gonna acquire Hartman for the next game and then we got (Brodin) hopefully coming back with Ekky and Kirill, so our deadline looks fine,” said Filip

Minnesota Wild fans had a case of déjà vu over the weekend. Stuck in the middle of a stretch where they lost three out of four games coming out of the 4 Nations Tournament, general manager Bill Guerin got on the phone and acquired Gustav Nyquist from the Nashville Predators for a 2026

Gustav Nyquist was traded to the Minnesota Wild by the Nashville Predators on Saturday for a second-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft.

The Minnesota Wild hosted the Boston Bruins on Sunday afternoon, Mar. 2, to kick off a heavy home-filled month. The Wild will play 11 home games in the month of March, with four on the road.

Minnesota was the last team the Bruins beat before that five-game skid, a run which further dimmed Boston’s playoff hopes.

The Predators lost both games in New York over the weekend, a 7-4 loss to the Islanders and a 4-0 loss to the Rangers. Nashville (21-32-7, 49 points) remains in seventh place in the Central Division, four points ahead of the Chicago Blackhawks.

Frederick Gaudreau scored the game’s only goal and Filip Gustavsson stopped 28 shots as the Minnesota Wild beat the Boston Bruins 1-0 on Sunday.

The Minnesota Wild know that time is running short with 22 games left in the regular season. The Wild also know that they are playing shorthanded without several prominent players, including top scorer Kirill Kaprizov and steady veteran Joel Eriksson Ek.
