Jared Spurgeon News
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon is set to undergo season-ending hip and back surgery. The Wild captain has been sidelined since Jan. 2 and with the Wild sitting at 18-20-5 and seventh in the Central Division, the season-ending decision has been made. Spurgeon's campaign ends after appearing in just 16 games with five assists, 21 shots, 12 hits, 29 blocks, and a plus-five rating under his belt. With Spurgeon lost for the season, the Wild will be able to exceed the salary cap by roughly $7.575 million once Spurgeon's salary is put on long-term injured reserve. Rookie Brock Faber has seen the biggest increase in opportunity in Spurgeon's absence and is the go-to Minnesota defenseman to roster in fantasy hockey.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The move came after Spurgeon was limited to 20:15 of ice time in Tuesday's clash with the Flames. It was only his third game back from a lower-body injury. It's unclear if Spurgeon's new ailment is related to his previous injury. 2023-24 has been a rough one for the Wild captain, as health issues have limited him to only 16 appearances. Brock Faber should again become the new leader on the blue line for Minnesota. He had an impressive spell right before Spurgeon returned and is now guaranteed massive minutes.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon is battling a lower-body injury and won't play Thursday versus Calgary. He's considered day-to-day. The Wild captain has struggled to keep himself available for the team this season, as Spurgeon has skated in just 13 games. He's only posted four points, which have all come via assists, but Spurgeon is among the team leaders with a plus-six rating. His work also includes 17 shots on goal and 24 blocks. Brock Faber could get a big boost from Spurgeon's absence, as he's a strong candidate to replace him on the first power-play unit.
Minnesota Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon (upper body) will make his season debut in Friday's matchup against Buffalo. The Wild captain sustained an upper-body injury in a preseason game against Chicago, but he's good to go now and has been activated from long-term Injured Reserve. The team initially did well despite his absence, but recent weeks have been tough for Minnesota, so this should be a big boost for the squad. Spurgeon had 34 points (11 goals, 23 assists) in 79 games last season with 149 shots on net, 179 blocks, and a plus-32 rating. Daemon Hunt has been sent to the minors to accommodate Spurgeon's return.
