Jake Middleton News: Stuck in skid
Middleton's point drought reached 16 games in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Canucks.
Middleton has earned 13 hits and 27 blocked shots in that span. The 30-year-old is filling a third-pairing role currently, as the Wild's defensive depth has seen him shift down the depth chart during 2025-26. Middleton has 14 points, 57 shots on net, 64 PIM, 82 hits, 103 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 68 appearances, and it's likely he'll miss the 20-point mark for the first time in three years.
