The 2021–22 Minnesota Wild season was the 22nd season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[2] The Wild clinched a playoff spot after a 5–4 overtime win against the San Jose Sharks, which would be their ninth postseason appearance in the last 10 seasons.[3] Despite setting franchise records in wins (53), and points (113), the Wild were upset in the first round by the St. Louis Blues, losing in six games.

Schedule and results

Regular season

The regular season schedule was released on July 22, 2021, with only about a handful of games scheduled in February because NHL players are planning to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics.[4] Ultimately, due to a surge in the COVID-19 pandemic, NHL players did not go to the Olympics, and the planned break in February was used to reschedule some games that had been postponed due to outbreaks of COVID-19 throughout the league in December and January.
