Jared Spurgeon News

Spurgeon has been sidelined since March 13th with a hamstring tear, but it looks like he will be ready to go for Game 1 in Winnipeg. Spuregon skated next to Carson Soucy on the second pairing and it looks like he’ll play despite maybe not being 100 percent. Spurgeon’s return is huge with Ryan Suter (ankle) on the shelf and comes in with 37 points (9G / 28A) in 61 games this season.

Spurgeon will miss his eighth consecutive game tonight vs. the Maple Leafs but will travel on their four-game road trip starting Sunday in Chicago. Expect Spurgeon to return at some point during the trip.

After being re-evaluated the Wild announced on Friday that one of their top-pairing defenseman will be out for two weeks with a groin strain. Matt Dumba filled in admirable for Spurgeon on Thursday and will be asked to do a lot for the next two weeks.

Spurgeon won’t play Wednesday vs. the Golden Knights or Saturday vs. the Blues as the Wild wait to see if his groin strain is a day-to-day thing or more of a week-to-week injury. With Spurgeon out, look for Ryan Murphy to remain in the lineup for the time being.

Spurgeon is a question mark for tonight’s game in Winnipeg because of an illness, so the Wild have recalled Ryan Murphy and he may draw in and make his Wild debut if Spurgeon can’t play.

Spurgeon missed the last four games, but will return to the lineup vs. the Stars on Saturday. Spurgeon has one goal and one assist in four games this season, but won’t start tonight with Ryan Suter. Instead he will play with Nate Prosser, as Mathew Dumba played with Suter in Spurgeon’s absence.

Spurgeon has missed the last four games, but will return to the lineup on Saturday. Spurgeon has picked up one goal and one assist in four games this season. Nate Prosser will likely come out of the lineup to make room for Spurgeon.

Spurgeon was hurt in Thursday’s game vs. the Maple Leafs and then missed yesterday’s practice, which puts his status for tonight’s game in jeopardy. If Spurgeon can’t play, look for Mathew Dumba to get back into the lineup.

Spurgeon missed the last two games with a lower-body injury, but is expected to be back in vs. the Sharks. Monitor his status during the morning skate, but expect him to draw back in alongside Ryan Suter. Spurgeon has 11 goals and 18 assists (29 points) in 75 games this season.

Despite taking part in pregame warmups, Spurgeon will sit out for a third straight game.

Spurgeon has missed the last two games with an undisclosed injury, but his availability for warmups suggests he may return this afternoon. Monitor his status around five minutes before puck-drop to see if he is in or scratched.
