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. Wild general manager Doug Risebrough also traded for Atlanta Thrashers left winger Matt Johnson, who should replace the toughness the team lost in Odgers. The Wild gave up a third-round draft pick in the 2001 entry draft to acquire Johnson, 6 feet 5, 230 pounds.
