Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Nets two goals
Jared Spurgeon scored two goals in a 7-2 preseason victory over Chicago on Tuesday.Spurgeon and the Minnesota Wild were up against Blackhawks goaltender Drew Commesso, who has no NHL experience, so take this exhibition showing from the 34-year-old defenseman with a grain of salt.

Spurgeon was limited to 16 regular-season appearances in 2023-24, recording no goals, five assists, 14 hits and 29 blocks.
