ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Mark Scheifele had a goal and three assists for the Winnipeg Jets, who won their fourth straight game with a 6-2 victory against the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena on Thursday.

With the blue line looking thin, the Wild recalled defensemen David Spacek and Carson Lambos from Iowa on Thursday. Spacek, who was expected to make his NHL debut versus the Jets, said he was on the way to Costco in Des Moines, Iowa, when he got the call-up.

Mark Scheifele had a goal and three assists, Jonathan Toews scored for the fourth consecutive game and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Minnesota Wild 6-2.

The Minnesota Wild are getting ready for another blockbuster swing before the NHL trade deadline... but the asset they move could surprise some.

Mark Scheifele officially became a NHLer in the summer of 2011, when he was the first draft pick of the new Winnipeg Jets, after they relocated from Atlanta. The draft that year was held at the rink now known as Grand Casino Arena, and to this day Scheifele clearly enjoys his return visits to Minnesota.

Jesper Bratt and Ondrej Palat each scored twice and the New Jersey Devils beat the Minnesota Wild 5-2 to snap a four-game skid.

Two goals against in 11 seconds to close out the first period, plus inopportune penalties, helped dig a hole the Wild couldn't escape.

NHL players are returning to the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2014, and the Minnesota Wild will be well represented. The United States released its men’s hockey roster for the 2026 Games in Milan-Cortina and Minnesota Wild forwards and defensemen are among those chosen to compete for Olympic gold.

The Minnesota Wild recalled Iowa Wild defenseman David Špaček, who is expected to make his NHL debut Thursday night against Winnipeg.
