The Minnesota Wild have made several roster moves involving players returning from injured reserve. In late October, the team activated captain Jared Spurgeon and forward Nico Sturm. Spurgeon returned after a four-game absence caused by an upper-body injury, while Sturm recovered from an upper-body injury that previously required hospitalization as a precaution.

By early November, the team activated veteran wingers Marcus and Nick Foligno. Marcus Foligno returned after missing nearly a month with a lower-body injury, and Nick Foligno returned from an upper-body issue. These activations resulted in the reassignment of players to the AHL Iowa Wild.
