The Pittsburgh Penguins are hosting the Minnesota Wild in an NHL game Friday night, looking to win their second straight game after ending a recent skid this past Sunday. The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.

Johansson had two assists, and Tyler Pitlick and Ryan Hartman scored for the Wild (18-9-5), who have won three straight and are 9-0-2 in their past 11 home games. Jesper Wallstedt made 34 saves.

The Wild will take on the Colorado Avalanche on Friday, November 28, for a 2:30 p.m. puck drop. It will be a historic game as the first NHL game called in the Ojibwe language.

The Bruins will have an unexpected new challenge when they face the Minnesota Wild on Sunday in St. Paul. The Wild acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks on Friday evening according to ESPN. The Canucks’ disappointing start had created considerable rumors that Hughes, the 26-year-old former Norris Trophy winner, could get dealt.

Midway through the second period, Kaprizov doubled the Wild lead thanks to a fortuitous carom. Boldy’s shot was deflected by a defenseman but quickly ricocheted off the end boards to Kaprizov who tucked the puck past Swayman at the right post.

According to sources, the New Jersey Devils did make a bid for Hughes in an attempt to roster him along side his two brothers, Luke and Jack Hughes. However, the Devils couldn’t match the haul that Minnesota was willing to let go of in exchange for the defenseman.

Ojibwe is an indigenous language of the Algonquian family spoken by the Anishinaabe people in the Great Lakes region of the U.S. and Canada, according to the NHL. The broadcast was carried out in celebration of Native American Heritage Day.

Friday night's Wild game against the Colorado Avalanche sounded different from the opening face off, with the entire broadcast called in Ojibwe​ as part of Native American Heritage Day.

The Minnesota Wild made an all-in move for one of the NHL’s best players in his prime, acquiring defenseman Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks in a blockbuster trade — their boldest action yet toward ending a decade-long skid of playoff series defeats.

In a matchup that saw the Vancouver Canucks suffer a last-minute injury issue with the departure of center Elias Pettersson, it was Tom Willander who brought some positivity to the game against the Minnesota Wild by scoring his first career NHL goal. The defenceman now has a goal and seven assists in 19 games played at the NHL level.
