The Minnesota Wild brought back Marc-Andre Fleury and traded Cam Talbot for Filip Gustavsson last summer to make the Fleury their primary goalie.

Evgeni Malkin is returning to the Pittsburgh Penguins after all.

Executives around the NHL expect plenty of movement before free agency opens Wednesday.

The combination of jumbled standings in the Western Conference and a flat salary cap has stalled much of the trade market around the NHL.

The Minnesota Wild are buying out the contracts of veteran stars Zach Parise and Ryan Suter.

For Donato, the Wild received a third-round pick in the 2021 draft. The Sharks sent their fifth-round pick in the 2022 draft for Dubnyk and also received Minnesota's 2022 seventh-rounder in return. The Wild now own two 2021 picks from the Penguins, who traded next year's first-rounder to Minnesota for forward Jason Zucker. Donato, who is the son of former Bruins stalwart Ted Donato, has 29 goals and 28 assists in 130 career NHL games.
