Wild Forward Nico Sturm Exits Game With Scary Head Injury

Minnesota Wild forward Nico Sturm suffered a concerning head injury during Monday’s game against the Vegas Golden Knights, exiting the contest early after taking a hard slap shot to the head. The incident has reignited concerns for the Wild, who already dealt with a similar situation earlier in the season involving Brock Faber.

Meanwhile, the team announced Marcus Foligno was placed on injured reserve, with Tyler Pitlick recalled to the roster to fill the void. On the defensive side, Quinn Hughes and Jared Spurgeon made NHL history as the first pairing to achieve a notable milestone in the league’s first five games of the season.

Hughes, in particular, has been a standout performer, extending his five-game point streak into Monday’s matchup against Vegas, where the Wild aim to build on their recent three-game winning streak against the Golden Knights.
