2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hunt had two goals, 18 points and 21 PIM in 57 regular-season outings between AHL Iowa and Cleveland in 2024-25. The Blue Jackets acquired him from Minnesota in November, but he didn’t end up seeing any NHL time with Columbus last year. However, he does have an assist, nine shots, 19 blocks and eight hits across 13 career regular-season NHL games. The 23-year-old isn’t expected to make the Opening Night roster, but he might get an opportunity with the Blue Jackets at some point during the campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets in August of 2025. Waived by the Blue Jackets in October of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Wild in October of 2025.
Takes shot up high Monday
Hunt (upper body) will not finish Monday's game versus the Canadiens, according to Dylan Loucks of The Hockey News.
ANALYSIS
Per Loucks, Ivan Demidov took a shot that ramped up Hunt's stick and hit the defenseman in the neck. The 23-year-old Hunt immediately went to the locker room and did not return. If he's unable to suit up in the Wild's final game before the Olympic break, which is Wednesday in Nashville, David Jiricek will draw back into the lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Targeting Thursday return
Hunt, who is on injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury, might join the team on the road in Seattle on Thursday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hunt has logged just 12 games for the Wild this season, earning two assists, three shots on net, 11 hits and 18 blocked shots while averaging 12:26 of ice time. Even once given the all-clear, Hunt is far from guaranteed to feature on a nightly basis, and could find himself serving as a healthy scratch periodically.
