• Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Puts away goal Monday

  16H ago • By RotoWire

  Spurgeon scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks. Spurgeon ended an eight-game point drought when he tied the game at 2-2 in the second period. Prior to the slump, he had picked up three goals and two assists in a four-game span, so fantasy managers would likely prefer to see him find a little more consistency. The veteran defenseman has 12 points, 56 shots on net, 23 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 29 appearances.

  Spurgeon scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators. The captain of the Wild netted his third goal of the season in Saturday's victory. He came through when the team needed him the most, as he blasted a wrister past Juuse Saros just one minute into OT to extend Minnesota's winning streak to three straight games. The 35-year-old veteran endured a rough start to 2024-25 but is turning things around. He has compiled three goals and one assist in his last two outings.

• Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Two-goal effort to break drought

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Spurgeon scored two goals including the game-winner in Friday's 3-2 victory over Chicago. The veteran blueliner last found the back of the net on April 8, 2023, going 33 regular-season games -- plus six more playoff contests -- without a goal, but Spurgeon ended his drought midway through the second period when his shot attempt from in close deflected in off Connor Murphy's skate. Spurgeon's good puck luck didn't end there, though. Later in the frame, his seemingly harmless wrister from the blue line trickled into the net after Petr Mrazek failed to squeeze it with his glove. Spurgeon has eight points in 17 games on the season, adding 32 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating to his ledger.

• Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Dishes power-play assist in win

  11/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Spurgeon had a power-play assist, one shot on net and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal. Spurgeon simply slid a puck to Marco Rossi, who changed his angle slightly and went far side past Sam Montembeault midway through the third period. Spurgeon, who missed six games with a lower-body injury in October, is not quite at his normal TOI. The 34-year-old defenseman, who averaged 23:20 of ice time in 2023-24, is averaging 19:35 TOI since returning to action seven games ago.
