Spurgeon scored a goal and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Golden Knights in Game 4.
EDGE Analysis
This was Spurgeon's first point since his helper April 9 versus the Sharks. The defenseman has posted seven shots on net, eight blocked shots, four hits and a plus-5 rating over four playoff contests. The Wild are leaning heavily on their top-four blueliners, so expect Spurgeon to continue seeing significant minutes throughout the Wild's postseason run.

Spurgeon (neck) will play Tuesday versus Anaheim, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon, along with Jake Middleton (upper body), will return to the lineup for Minnesota's regular-season finale. Spurgeon missed Saturday's game against the Canucks after getting injured Friday versus the Flames. The right-shot blueliner is expected to skate on the third pairing next to Jon Merrill on Tuesday with a playoff berth hanging in the balance for Minnesota.

Spurgeon (neck) won't play Saturday versus the Canucks, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon will be forced to miss at least one game after taking a puck to the throat in Friday's contest versus the Flames. The 35-year-old defenseman should be considered day-to-day ahead of the Wild's regular-season finale Tuesday versus the Ducks. Cameron Crotty will enter Saturday's lineup to replace Spurgeon.

Spurgeon was unable to finish Friday's game versus the Flames after taking a puck to the throat in the second period, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach John Hynes indicated Spurgeon was also feeling light-headed after attempting to return to the game in the third period. It's a bit of a concerning injury, especially with the Wild set to face the Canucks on Saturday. If Spurgeon and Jake Middleton (upper body) are both out, Cameron Crotty will likely have to enter the lineup.

Spurgeon logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 8-7 overtime win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has four helpers over his last seven outings. The defenseman's assist Wednesday was on Kirill Kaprizov's game-winning goal 1:01 into overtime. Spurgeon should benefit from the Wild being at nearly full strength for the first time since January, as the team's offense is likely to improve. For the season, the 35-year-old blueliner is at 32 points, 105 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 52 hits and a plus-7 rating over 64 appearances in a top-four role.

Spurgeon provided an assist and blocked five shots on goal in Thursday's 4-2 win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon tallied the lone helper on Frederick Gaudreau's empty-net goal in the third period. The 35-year-old Spurgeon's performance Thursday was extremely well-rounded with multiple shots on goal, hits and blocks. Overall, the blueliner has 22 assists, 29 points, 94 shots on net and 103 blocks in 58 games this season. Spurgeon has done a bit of everything down the stretch for the Wild with eight points, 17 shots on net and 24 blocked shots in his last 12 games. Because of his recent momentum and role in a top-four spot on Minnesota's blue line, there is a case in all fantasy formats to roster Spurgeon for the remainder of the fantasy postseason.

Spurgeon logged a pair of assists in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has a goal and six assists over eight contests in March. One of his helpers Monday was on Ryan Hartman's power-play tally in the second period, and the other set up Marcus Johansson's empty-netter in the third. Spurgeon is up to 28 points, 84 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 42 hits and a plus-8 rating through 53 appearances. His playing style doesn't pop, but he's well on his way to the 30-point mark for the seventh time in the last nine seasons, which makes him a reliable depth option in fantasy.

Spurgeon notched two power-play assists and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has somewhat quietly earned five points over his last five outings, three of which have been power-play helpers. He had a hand in goals by Marcus Johansson and Frederick Gaudreau in this contest. Spurgeon is up to 26 points (eight on the power play), 83 shots on net, 91 blocked shots, 41 hits and a plus-8 rating over 51 appearances. That's better than a 40-point pace for a full year, and while injuries have prevented Spurgeon from getting to that level, he's played well enough to be rostered in fantasy down the stretch.

The defenseman is at seven goals, 23 points, 78 shots on net, 81 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 47 appearances.

Spurgeon notched a power-play assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has earned four helpers over his last four games, but this was his first power-play points in his last seven outings. The 35-year-old didn't see any time with the man advantage in Saturday's game between these two teams, but it looks like he's back in the mix. For the season, he's at 21 points (five on the power play), 74 shots on net, 34 hits, 71 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 43 appearances.
