2012–13 Minnesota Wild season (original) (raw)

The 2012–13 Minnesota Wild season was the 13th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 25, 1997. The regular season was reduced from its usual 82 games to 48 due to the 2012–13 NHL lockout. The Wild made the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since the 2007–08 season, where they fell to the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round.
