Could Hunter Haight Be the Wild’s Unexpected Star This Season?
Though he started this preseason down the depth chart, Haight’s knack for stepping up—whether flying down the ice right before scoring or snagging crucial ice time over some bigger names—has been impossible to ignore. Wild coach John Hynes isn’t shy about praising his blend of hockey smarts, grit, and versatility. And with some question marks around fourth line center Nico Sturm’s readiness, the door to a roster spot might just be cracking open a bit wider for Haight. From penalty kill minutes to power play shifts, it’s clear he’s packing more than just potential — he’s making a genuine push.
