Wild forward Nick Johnson has finally found a home. The 25-year old has never been traded, but he's bounced on and off waivers during his short career. The Wild claimed him off waivers from the Penguins before the season began, and he's taking advantage of the opportunity.

Mike Yeo's first game against his former team didn't go the way he planned. The Pittsburgh Penguins were without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, but they still walked out of Xcel Energy Center with a 4-2 win over the Wild.

His speed and versatility are helping the Wild maintain momentum at the top of the list. He's older than your average rookie, and he's playing like it.

The Minnesota Wild are saying so long to veteran center Eric Nystrom. He was put on waivers today. If another team doesn't claim him -- he'll be sent to Minnesota's minor league affiliate in Houston. Nystrom has two years left on his contract at $1.4 million per year.

The Minnesota Wild put their three-game winning streak on the line in Anaheim. Tied 3-3 in the third period, Nick Johnson came through with a huge goal.

Pittsburgh scored four power-play goals in a a 4-1 rout over Minnesota in exhibition play.

The Minnesota Wild have swapped defensemen with the Edmonton Oilers. Nick Schultz heads to Canada in exchange for Bloomington native Tom Gilbert.

The Vikings signed defensive end Nick Reed on Tuesday. Reed was picked in the seventh round of the 2009 draft by the Seahawks. He was out of the league in 2010 before spending time with the Bears and Bucs last season.
