Spotlight on Jared Spurgeon
The Wild defenseman is just 5-foot-9 and 168 pounds but he logs more than 24 minutes per game and leads the team with 126 blocked shots. Spurgeon, 28, is the franchise leader for most career goals (56) and tied for first in game-winning goals (13) with Brent Burns, who now plays for San Jose. Spurgeon has seven points (two goals) in his last eight games and is point shy of his career-high in points (38), established last season.
