2020–21 Minnesota Wild season
The 2020–21 Minnesota Wild season is the 21st season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[1] This will be the first time since the 2005–06 season that Mikko Koivu will not be on the roster after he signed a contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. On December 20, 2020, the league temporarily realigned into four divisions with no conferences due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing closure of the Canada-United States border. As a result of this realignment the Wild will play this season in the West Division and will only play games against the other teams in their new division during the regular season and potentially the first two rounds of the playoffs.
