Scores game-winning tally Spurgeon scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 3-2 overtime win over the Predators.

Impact The Wild's captain netted his third goal of the season Saturday and came through when the team needed him the most, as he blasted a wrister past Juuse Saros just one minute into OT to give the Wild their third straight victory. The 35-year-old veteran endured a rough start to the season but is turning things around after finding the back of the net in consecutive games for the first time in the current campaign.

Two-goal effort to break drought Spurgeon scored two goals including the game-winner in Friday's 3-2 victory over Chicago.

Impact The veteran blueliner last found the back of the net on April 8, 2023, going 33 regular-season games -- plus six more playoff contests -- without a goal, but Spurgeon ended his drought midway through the second period when his shot attempt from in close deflected in off Connor Murphy's skate. Spurgeon's good puck luck didn't end there, though. Later in the frame, his seemingly harmless wrister from the blue line trickled into the net after Petr Mrazek failed to squeeze it with his glove. Spurgeon has eight points in 17 games on the season, adding 32 shots on net, 28 blocked shots, 12 hits and a plus-7 rating to his ledger.

Logs another helper Spurgeon produced an assist, three shots on goal, five blocked shots and two hits in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Stars.

Impact Spurgeon has a helper in each of the last two contests after going four games without a point. The 34-year-old defenseman has struggled to carve out much offense this season, though it doesn't help that he missed six games due to a lower-body injury in October. Spurgeon is now at five helpers, 22 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, eight hits and a plus-3 rating over 11 appearances. That matches his point total from 16 outings in 2023-24, a season which was cut short by multiple injuries that required surgery.

Dishes power-play assist in win Spurgeon had a power-play assist, one shot on net and three blocked shots in Thursday's 3-0 win over Montreal.

Impact Spurgeon simply slid a puck to Marco Rossi, who changed his angle slightly and went far side past Sam Montembeault midway through the third period. Spurgeon, who missed six games with a lower-body injury in October, is not quite at his normal TOI. The 34-year-old defenseman, who averaged 23:20 of ice time per game in 2023-24, is averaging 19:35 TOI since returning to action seven games ago.

Dishes pair of helpers Spurgeon notched two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Spurgeon helped out on Ryan Hartman's goal in the first period and Matt Boldy's game-winner in overtime. This was the first time in five outings Spurgeon has exceeded 20 minutes of ice time, logging 22:00 in Sunday's win. The 34-year-old has three helpers, five shots on net, nine blocked shots, four hits and a plus-4 rating while filling a top-four role since recovering from a lower-body injury.

Good to go Spurgeon (lower body) will play Tuesday versus Pittsburgh, according to Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Impact Following a six-game absence, Spurgeon will return to Minnesota's top-four group. The 34-year-old blueliner has one assist, two shots on goal, six blocked shots and four hits through two appearances this season. Spurgeon will replace Jon Merrill in Tuesday's lineup.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Saturday Spurgeon (lower body) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia, according to Michael Russo of The Athletic.

Impact Spurgeon will miss his sixth straight outing. He has registered one assist, two shots on goal, six blocked shots and four hits in two appearances this season. Spurgeon's next chance to return will be Tuesday against Pittsburgh.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to practice Friday Spurgeon (lower body) will travel to Philadelphia and is set to practice with the Wild on Friday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Spurgeon has missed the last four games and will sit out Thursday's clash in Tampa Bay. The defenseman has an assist with four hits and six blocked shots in two games this season. He could return as early as Saturday in Philadelphia.

OCTOBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Set to miss time Spurgeon (lower body) won't be available for the start of the Wild's upcoming five-game road trip, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports Thursday.

Impact Given the timeline provided by General Manager Bill Guerin, Spurgeon should probably be expected to miss at least the next two games versus the Blue Jackets and Panthers on Saturday and Tuesday, respectively, though it could certainly be longer. Without the veteran blueliner in the lineup, the club will likely recall Daemon Hunt from the minors while Jon Merrill could see the bulk of the extra minutes.

OCTOBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Tuesday Spurgeon (lower body) has been ruled out versus St. Louis on Tuesday.

Impact Spurgeon will be out of action for his second straight contest due to his lower-body problem. Without the veteran blueliner in the lineup, Declan Chisholm should see the biggest uptick in ice time playing alongside Jonas Brodin. Once given the all-clear, Spurgeon should reclaim his place in the lineup which will relegate Jon Merrill to a spot in the press box while Daemon Hunt returns to AHL Iowa.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Unavailable Sunday Spurgeon (lower body) won't play Sunday against Winnipeg.

Impact Spurgeon is considered day-to-day ahead of Tuesday's contest versus St. Louis. He has one assist, six blocked shots and four hits in two outings this season. Declan Chisholm (illness) will replace Spurgeon in Sunday's lineup.

Nets two goals Spurgeon scored two goals in a 7-2 preseason victory over Chicago on Tuesday.

Impact Spurgeon and the 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. Still, it seems to demonstrate that he's recovered from his hip and back surgeries, which he underwent in February and March, respectively. Spurgeon was limited to 16 appearances in 2023-24, recording no goals, five assists, 14 hits and 29 blocks.
