24-25 Wild Season Starts Tonight

The Minnesota Wild drop the puck on a new season tonight when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. It will be the first Wild opener for head coach John Hynes who came in to replace Dean Evason in November of last season after a shaky start to the season. Evason, coincidentally, is now the head coach for the Blue Jackets and will make his debut behind the Columbus bench on Thursday night. The Wild are expected to have Matt Boldy and Jake Middleton back from injury and ready to go for game number one of eighty-two. Puck drops at 7 P-M from Xcel Energy Center. Coverage begins at 6:45pm on KNUJ.
