What is The Daily Clutter?
It’s pretty simple. We’re going to send out a daily post to update our fans, The ClutterPuckers, on anything Minnesota Hockey or hockey in general and we might sprinkle in some other fun things, too.
What do we have today? A Minnesota-born woman scored the 1st goal for PWHL Minnesota, World Junior Heartbreak, Wild Injuries just keep on coming and even more Daily Clutter!

Is that a Women’s Puck?
The PWHL Minnesota Women’s Hockey team played their first game tonight in Boston and Minnesota’s Taylor Heise scored the first PWHL goal on American soil with a snipe past Boston’s Frankel! Yeah, that Taylor Heise who was the number one pick in the inaugural PWHL Draft who played for the Minnesota Gophers and who was born in Minnesota. The W on that puck above can pretty easily look like an M, a Gopher M, can’t it?
The Ladies from Minnesota won 3-2. Attendance was 3,352!
What in the World Juniors?
The 2024 IIHF U20 World Junior Championships Quarterfinals were yesterday. Two games went into OVERTIME, another game was decided with 11 seconds left in regulation and…
Team USA beat Team Latvia 7-2 to advance to the Semifinals.
Team Sweden faced Team Switzerland…
Team Finland faced Team Slovakia…

Team Canada faced Team Czechia…
Takeaways: Canada’s World Junior run ends in heartbreaking fashion after late goal
You’d think it’s been a long time since Canada didn’t at least play for a medal in the annual IIHF World Junior Championships but it was just 5 years ago but they’re always expected to be in the running for gold.
Canada’s brain trust reflects on world junior exit: ‘It’s always a little empty’
The Semifinals are tomorrow:

Minnesota Wild
The Record: 16-16-4 (W-L-OTL); 36 points, 7th in NHL’s Central Division
2023-24 Minnesota Wild Schedule and Results
The Minnesota Wild have now lost 3 straight games and have fallen back to a .500 team with 46 games remaining.
That’s a First Aid logo because the Minnesota Wild are dropping like flies!
They had to put D Jared Spurgeon back on IR with an undisclosed injury so they Recalled Daemon Hunt. The Minnesota Wild now have Fs Kirill Kaprizov, Mats Zuccarello & Marcus Foligno and Ds Jonas Brodin & Jared Spurgeon out. Geez! That could be the number 1 Power Play unit!
Unfortunately, they aren’t getting most of those players back anytime soon. F Marcus Foligno wasn’t in yesterday’s game but there wasn’t really an update on what the injury was and if he’d be out for more than just that game.
They can’t worry about it…
Also… look at this Minnesota Wild player walking into the game yesterday. Hey! He has a lot of style. Someone asked, “Who was that player?…
