The Minnesota Wild and Utah Hockey Club have both made a trade today, that will see one of Minnesota's centermen head over to Utah. The 25-year-old forward has tallied one goal, one assist, and three points in 13 career NHL games from 2022-24 and most recently made four appearances with the Wild last season.

Dylan Guenther, who scored both of Utah’s goals on Dec. 20, is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury. Mikhail Sergachev, who had three assists in those two games, is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury. It’s unclear whether he’ll be ready to play Thursday.
