The Minnesota Wild may have tipped their hand on a new look for 2026-27, and the clues are hard to miss.
A uniform schedule recently posted in the team’s mobile app laid out when Minnesota will wear its home green, road white and 78s sweaters next season. But after those three options, the app appears to hit a wall.
A fourth uniform page shows up, only to deliver an error message that says, “Something went wrong. Please try again later.”
That odd glitch lines up with another detail: the schedule doesn’t account for every game on Minnesota’s expanded 84-game regular-season slate.
At home, the Wild have 28 games listed in their traditional green and five more in the 78s. That still leaves nine of their 42 home dates without a uniform assignment. Add in the road schedule, and there is one more game left hanging there as well.
In total, 10 games - nine at home and one away - are not tied to any of the three uniforms currently shown in the app. The lone road date without a listed sweater is Dec. 10 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a notable matchup because Minnesota and Columbus entered the NHL together as expansion clubs for the 2000-01 season.
Minnesota already rolled out a special 25th-anniversary jersey last season, though it appeared only four times. If these missing dates are in fact reserved for a new alternate, that would point to a much bigger place in the rotation for 2026-27.
And the hint, at least for now, is that the new jersey will be black.

Wild Suddenly Face A Bigger Concern Than Fans Expected On Defense
The early days of camp had already been pointing toward a young Minnesota blue line carrying plenty of responsibility, and now there is at least one more layer of uncertainty. Brock Faber was absent from Wild practice ahead of the season opener after taking an injury in the preseason finale, leaving his availability unclear at a time when every healthy defenseman matters.
Minnesota has reasons to be watching the rest of the league too, with Dylan Larkin reportedly widening his trade list to eight teams and making a fit with the Wild look remote. There is also long-term intrigue in prospect Charlie Stramel, who may begin the year in the minors before potentially pushing for NHL time later, but for now the focus is squarely on how the Wild sort out the back end if Faber is not ready.

Wild Showed One Opening Night Concern Fans Wont Ignore
The Wild's final tune-up before the regular season offered a familiar mix of promise and frustration, and it was the finishing touch that stood out most. Minnesota dressed a lineup close to what it expects to ice on opening night against Dallas, controlled plenty of the shot count, and still came away with a 2-1 loss after Joel Eriksson Ek supplied the only goal.
For a team that liked what it saw from its penalty killing, the bigger issue was the same one that can linger into October if it is not cleaned up quickly. Minnesota ended the preseason at 1-2-1, and while the structure looked sound, the ability to turn chances into goals still needs work if the Wild want their regular-season start to look sharper than this one did.

Wild May Finally Find Out What The Islanders Never Saw In Shabanov
Maxim Shabanov arrives in Minnesota with a rsum that suggests there is more here than the brief look he got with the Islanders. After a successful run in the KHL, he signed with New York but never managed to carve out a steady place in the lineup, spending most of his time on the edges of the roster before reaching free agency. For the Wild, the appeal is obvious: a low-risk addition with enough offensive background to make the move worth a closer look.
Now Shabanov gets a fresh start on a one-year contract, and the fit feels a little more intriguing because Minnesota can offer him something New York never really did, a clearer path to meaningful minutes. Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin already noted how hard the adjustment can be when a player is trying to translate that game to the NHL, and the Wild are betting they may be the team that finally finds the version of Shabanov the Islanders never quite uncovered.
