The Minnesota Wild acquired two-time Stanley Cup winner Vladimir Tarasenko from the Detroit Wings on Monday.

The Red Wings will receive future considerations for the 33-year-old forward, a four-time All-Star Game selection.

Tarasenko tallied 33 points (11 goals, 22 assists) in 80 games during his lone season with the Red Wings.

He signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with Detroit as a free agent last July and has a $4.75 million cap hit for the 2025-26 season.

The Russian winger has 662 points (304 goals, 358 assists) in 831 career games with the St. Louis Blues (2012-23), New York Rangers (2023), Ottawa Senators (2023-24), Florida Panthers (2024) and Red Wings. The Blues drafted him 16th overall in 2010.

Tarasenko won Stanley Cups with the Blues in 2018 and the Panthers in 2024. He has 73 points (49 goals, 24 assists) in 121 career postseason games.
