The 2000–01 Minnesota Wild season was the team's first season of play in the National Hockey League (NHL). One of the policies that the Wild implemented was never naming a permanent captain. Instead, the team captaincy was rotated on a monthly basis among several of its players each season, with some players serving multiple times.
Off-season
Jacques Lemaire was named the team’s first head coach on June 19.[2]
Regular season
The Wild struggled offensively, finishing 30th overall in scoring (168 goals for), power-play goals scored (36) and power-play percentage (9.63%). They were also shut out a league-high 14 times. Combined with the six shut-outs earned in total by goaltenders Manny Fernandez and Jamie McLennan, 20 of the Wild's 82 regular-season games ended in a shutout.[3][4]

Before Friday night's game, the Wild lost right winger Jeff Odgers in the waiver draft and added Zdeno Ciger from Nashville and Sylvain Blouin from Montreal in the same draft.
