Former Los Angeles Kings veteran defenseman Jack Johnson will get a shot to make the roster with the Minnesota Wild in the Central Division, according to news from the team earlier this week. Johnson will be 38 years old at the start of the 2025-26 NHL regular season, and he's played for six teams in his pro career (not including the Wild).
The Wild announced on an official release from the team on Aug. 11 that they signed Johnson to a professional tryout deal late this offseason.
