Also for the Minnesota Wild: forwards, goalies. Every team. A franchise is a current team and every team it has been, as the NHL ruled on 2026-09-24 (the Jets include the first Jets, 1979-96, and the Atlanta Thrashers; the inactive Coyotes and the defunct teams have no page). The games are the NHL's own; the Method says what is in them.
