The 2012–13 Minnesota Wild season was the 13th season for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.[2] The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to a lockout.

The Wild made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2007–08 NHL season, where they fell to the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round.

Off-season

The Wild made a splash in the free-agent pool by signing top free agents Zach Parise and Ryan Suter on July 4, 2012. Both were signed to 13-year-long contracts.

Regular season

On February 26, 2013, Zach Parise scored just 27 seconds into the overtime period to give the Wild a 2–1 home win over the Calgary Flames.[3] Parise tied Marian Gaborik's mark, set on January 23, 2013, when he scored 27 seconds into the overtime period to give the Rangers a 4–3 home win over the Boston Bruins.[4] Both goals would prove to be the fastest overtime goals scored during the lockout-shortened season.[5]

The Wild were the most disciplined team during the regular season, with a league-low 135 power-play opportunities against. They also tied the New York Islanders for the fewest shorthanded goals allowed, with zero.[6]
