The Minnesota Wild's 2023-24 season has seemingly been off all year long, and now, they've suffered a blow that could officially end their playoff hopes.
Captain Jared Spurgeon to miss the rest of the season
After playing in just 16 games to this point, captain Jared Spurgeon will now officially miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
NEWS: #MNWild Jared Spurgeon is done for the season due to injury.
He is scheduled to have left hip surgery on February 6 and will then have back surgery approximately 4 weeks later.

In those 16 games, the 34-year old has tallied just five assists, and with injuries piling up for Minnesota, it's safe to say things are not looking good.
Spurgeon may not be a star, but he's a solid captain for Minnesota, and now, without his leadership and a massive deficit in the Western Conference playoff race, they are set to shockingly miss the playoffs, something no one expected when the year began.
Can the Wild make a playoff run in 2023-24?
