Spurgeon scored a goal, added a power-play assist and blocked two shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has five points over his last six outings. The 36-year-old defenseman is still seeing ample ice time on the second pairing, though he doesn't need to be a workhorse with Quinn Hughes and Brock Faber handling heavy usage on the top pairing. Spurgeon is now at 13 points (five on the power play), 50 shots on net, 88 blocked shots, 55 hits and a plus-4 rating through 44 appearances this season. His all-around play gives him a little appeal in deep fantasy formats.

Spurgeon scored a goal, added an assist, blocked six shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
This was Spurgeon's first multi-point effort of the campaign. The 36-year-old defenseman has chipped in offense in small bursts and is still on the second power-play unit, but most of his work has come in more of a shutdown role. For the year, he's produced three goals, 11 points, 45 shots on net, 81 blocked shots, 51 hits and a plus-4 rating over 40 appearances.

Spurgeon scored a power-play goal in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has a goal and three assists during his four-game point streak. While his tally came with the man advantage Sunday, Spurgeon may struggle to get power-play minutes now that Quinn Hughes is on the team. Spurgeon could continue to work on the second unit, but the Wild may want to save him for more defensive assignments where he thrives. The 36-year-old blueliner has two goals, eight points, 35 shots on net, 45 hits, 61 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 33 appearances this season.

Spurgeon posted an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon has a helper in each of the last two games after going 14 contests without a point. The veteran defenseman is a lock for top-four minutes, but his production has skewed toward the defensive side of things in 2025-26. He's at six points, 33 shots on net, 44 hits, 56 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating through 31 appearances.

Spurgeon's point drought reached 11 games in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon is plus-7 with 21 blocked shots and 11 hits in that span, and he's still on the Wild's second power-play unit. That suggests he's doing the little things right and getting unlucky on offense. The 36-year-old defenseman is at four points, 25 shots on net, 46 blocks, 37 hits, six PIM and a minus-4 rating through 26 appearances this season. Spurgeon's offense will rebound eventually, though he doesn't have the upside of teammates and fellow defenders Brock Faber and Zeev Buium.

Spurgeon scored a power-play goal on two shots and blocked three shots in Monday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Spurgeon's first goal and point of the season opened the scoring at 14:04 of the first period. The 35-year-old defenseman has surprisingly occupied a spot on the second power-play unit instead of Brock Faber, though neither of them is challenging Zeev Buium's spot on the first unit. Spurgeon has added four shots on net, three hits, seven blocks and a minus-4 rating through three contests. He's a steady top-four blueliner, and if he retains a power-play spot, he'll have appeal as a depth option in fantasy.

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.
