During the first month of the —10 season, the team announced their first ever full-time captain, Mikko Koivu. The —10 and the —11 seasons ended in disappointment for the Minnesota Wild as they missed the playoffs both seasons.

Following the —11 season, the team fired head coach Todd Richards due to the team failing to reach the playoffs in his two seasons as head coach with a 77—71—16 record. Despite a hot start to the season, which saw them sitting atop the league standings in early December, multiple injuries to key players for extended periods essentially knocked the team out of playoff contention for the fourth consecutive year. During the offseason, the team was able to sign top prospect Mikael Granlund to a three-year, entry level contract.

However, the team's busy offseason was overshadowed by the —13 NHL lockout until it was resolved in January Prior to the trade deadline, the Wild acquired Jason Pominville from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for prospects Johan Larsson and Matt Hackett as well as draft picks.

The team reached the post-season for the fourth time in franchise history after a 3—1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on April 27, Finishing eighth place in the Western Conference, the Wild lost to the eventual champions, the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs in five games. The relocation and rebranding of the Atlanta Thrashers as the "new" Winnipeg Jets in meant that Winnipeg was once again Minnesota's second closest geographical rival after Chicago, and led the league to reconsider its divisional alignment.

Among the alignments considered was having the Jets replace the Avalanche in the Northwest, but Wild management strongly objected to this alignment as it would have left them as the only U. Following protracted negotiations both amongst the owners and with the players' union, in the NHL collapsed its six divisions into four and dissolved the Northwest Division.

The Wild now share their division with not only the Blackhawks but also the Dallas Stars, the Wild's predecessors in Minnesota, and the St. The —14 regular season for the Wild was the best the team had since the —08 season, good enough to claim the first Wild Card position. Jason Pominville became the Wild's third player in franchise history to reach the goal mark with Mikko Koivu surpassing Marian Gaborik in all-time points for the club.

The Wild battled goaltender problems throughout the entire season. Niklas Backstrom also suffered a season-ending injury with abdominal issues. The Wild started five different goalies during the year and dressed seven. In the playoffs, the team would face the Colorado Avalanche, who won the Central Division. The Wild won the series 4—3 via an overtime goal in Game 7 by Nino Niederreiter. They would then face the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Chicago Blackhawks where they were eliminated in six games.

In the summer of , the Wild signed forward Thomas Vanek as a free agent. In , the Wild clinched the first wild card spot in the West by defeating the Chicago Blackhawks. They then defeated the Central Division champions, the St. Louis Blues in the first round of the playoffs in 6 games. In the second round, the Wild were eliminated in 4-game series sweep by the Chicago Blackhawks. Following the loss, forward Matt Cooke stated, " Our expectations inside this room were a lot higher than a second round series.

In , the Wild set a franchise record with the best win record in the first 41 games of the season. Immediately afterward, they went into a skid, losing the next 13 of 14 games, culminating in the firing of head coach Mike Yeo. Under new interim head coach John Torchetti , the team snapped the losing streak but remained streaky throughout the rest of the season, managing to barely make the playoffs with a total of 87 points, the worst record of any playoff team in the shootout era since For their first seven years in the NHL, the Wild wore a uniform of either a green or white jersey with red and gold stripes and the primary logo on the front of the jersey.

The shoulder patch was a circle with "Minnesota Wild" read in distinctive lettering from both words. The name and numbering on the green jersey would be gold with red outlining while on the white jersey it was red with gold outlining. In the —04 season, the green jersey became the home jersey while the white one became the road jersey. In the —08 season, when all jerseys were converted to the new Reebok Edge uniform system, the white jersey was retained and the home jersey replaced with a new one that has a small imprint of the team's primary logo inside a white circle which is surrounded by the words "Minnesota Wild" in a larger ring against a green background.

The rest of the jersey is predominantly red with additional swatches of green on the sleeves. This jersey was originally unveiled as the Wild's alternate jersey in The away jersey uses a larger version of the primary logo without the concentric circles on a predominantly white jersey; in , the lettering was updated to match the home and alternate sweaters, at the same time updating the sweater's look to a more traditional design.
