John Klingberg Stats

Minnesota Wild defenseman John Klingberg (upper body) will rejoin the lineup for Wednesday's game against Colorado. The Swedish blue-liner has been battling an upper-body issue, missing three games. Klingberg, who was a trade deadline acquisition from Anaheim, has skated in nine games with the Wild, logging one goal and three assists. He will jump back into the lineup in a top-four role and should also feature heavily on the power play.

The Minnesota Wild have announced that the team acquired defenseman John Klingberg from the Anaheim Ducks on Friday in exchange for a 2025 fourth-round pick, defenseman Andrej Sustr and the rights to forward Nikita Nesterenko. Half of Klingberg's $7 million salary will be retained by Anaheim until his one-year deal runs out in the summer. The Swedish rearguard ended a lengthy spell with the Dallas Stars last offseason to sign with the Ducks as a free agent, but things didn't work out at all for him in Anaheim and he quickly moved on. Klingberg's 50-game stint with the Ducks included eight goals, 16 assists and a minus-28 rating. He should be able to up his productivity on a better team and Klingberg's offensive prowess could provide a nice boost for Minnesota's mediocre 2.77 goals-for average.

Anaheim Ducks defensemen Dmitry Kulikov and John Klingberg won't play Wednesday against Washington for trade-related reasons. The Ducks are protecting their assets, with only a couple of days to go until the trade deadline. Klingberg is definitely the more valuable piece of the two, although he hasn't exactly been setting the world alight this season, settling for 24 points in 50 games. Colton White and Scott Harrington will replace Kulikov and Klingberg in the team on Wednesday.
