Beat writer Michael Russo believes Devin Setoguchi could be traded after the Wild acquired former first-round pick Nino Niederreiter over the weekend. The Wild acquired Niederreiter from the Islanders, who gave up on the former No. 5 overall pick after the two sides disagreed on the next step in his development this past season. Setoguchi has a $3 million cap hit, which is particularly prohibitive for a Minnesota team that is close to the $64.3 million cap ceiling and would still like to add a piece or two this offseason. Setoguchi had 13 goals and 27 points in 48 games this season.

Devin Setoguchi scored his first postseason goal Friday night since he potted seven during the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs with San Jose. Setoguchi's goal stemmed the Hawks' tide for a while Friday night, but the Wild were unable to hold the fort for long. Chicago scored three times in the third period to take a 2-0 lead in the series, which heads back to Minnesota for Game 3 on Sunday.

Devin Setoguchi finally scored a goal in the Wild's win over Colorado to end the regular season. The goal was the first marker for the talented winger in 15 games and turned out to be an important one for the Wild, who needed the victory to qualify for postseason play. He's a risky selection in playoff pools.

Wild forward Devin Setoguchi has not scored a goal in his last 11 contests. The talented winger scored 12 times in a 23-game stretch through most of February and March, but an injury to linemate Matt Cullen seems to have derailed him. For his part, Setoguchi understands that he and his line mates need to generate more scoring chances in order to be more effective. "We still have a ways to go," Setoguchi said. "We've got to create more. Last game wasn't the greatest, but we didn't have an easy matchup against [Brent] Burns and [Joe] Thornton and we didn't give them too much."

Devin Setoguchi has cooled off since Matt Cullen got injured. He has one assist and four shots in four games without Cullen in the lineup. Setoguchi was red hot before that during the month of March with nine goals and five assists in 15 contests. Setoguchi is trying to develop some chemistry with center Mikael Granlund and he wants to step up his offensive efforts.

Devin Setoguchi potted a goal in Minnesota's 5-3 loss to the Stars on Friday night. Setoguchi has put together a very impressive month, with nine of his 12 goals and four of his 10 assists on the year coming in March. Torrey Mitchell and Jared Spurgeon recorded the other markers for the Wild. Mike Rupp (10) and Zenon Konopka (14) led the way in penalty minutes.

Devin Setoguchi has credited linemate Matt Cullen for his recent success. Setoguchi is one of the hottest goal scorers in the NHL at this time with eight goals in his last 11 games and credits Cullen's passing ability and the two really clicking well together for their success. Cullen has four goals and 16 assists this season to tie Setoguchi as he also has 20 points with 11 goals. Both are worth picking up this season if still available in your pools.

Minnesota Wild coach Mike Yeo credited Devin Setoguchi's physical play for his recent success but the sharpshooting winger disagrees and says confidence has been the key. "I think 98 percent of the game is mental," he said. "In between the ears is the biggest thing. Playing the right way, believing in yourself, having confidence with the puck, that's the most important thing." Setoguchi was hit by a car in the summer of 2011, which prevented him from much of his offseason conditioning work before joining the Wild. Injuries limited him to 69 games last season. But he returned ready to go this fall after the lockout ended. And, after a slow start, has caught fire.

Blazing-hot Devin Setoguchi scored two goals for the Minnesota Wild Wednesday night in the team's 4-2 win over Detroit and has five in his past five games. The left winger didn't score a goal in Minnesota's first 10 games. He was scrutinized to pieces. Trade rumors swirled. All of that has disappeared now that he has 11 goals in the past 19 games and shares the Wild's goal-scoring lead with high-profile Zach Parise.

Devin Setoguchi scored twice to lead the Wild to a 4-2 win over the Red Wings on Wednesday night. Setoguchi is on quite a run, with points in five straight games and five goals in that span. After going goalless for the first 10 games, Setoguchi now has 11, tied for the team-high, in his last 18 contests. Mikko Koivu and Kyle Brodziak potted the other markers. Pierre-Marc Bouchard added to assists, and he now has seven of his 12 points over his last four games.
