Trenin registered an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Golden Knights in Game 3.
The Wild have gotten little offense from their depth players, but the fourth line combined for a goal Thursday. Trenin set up Marco Rossi's first-period tally. This was just the third point in the last 25 games for Trenin, who offers far more physicality than offense. In the regular season, he had 15 points, 85 shots on net, 241 hits and 54 PIM across 76 appearances, and he's already racked up 15 hits and five blocked shots over three postseason outings.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Sends assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Trenin notched an assist in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Red Wings.
Trenin helped out on a Jakub Lauko tally in the first period.

He's now at 13 points through 52 contests, a pace slightly better than the 17 points in 76 appearances he had between the Predators and the Avalanche in 2023-24.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Tallies goal Thursday
Rotowire
Trenin scored the opening goal and added three hits in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Hurricanes.

Trenin's offensive production has taken a jump, tallying three points over his past four games. While his fantasy value is limited on Minnesota's fourth line, his hit totals are noteworthy in banger leagues.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Finds twine in win
Rotowire
Trenin recorded the game-winning goal on two shots while also recording three hits in 10:37 of ice time during Monday's 3-1 win over Colorado.
Trenin had recorded a minus-3 rating over his two appearances leading up to Monday's matchup, but he was more effective against the Avalanche and got on the scoresheet for just the third time over his last 12 outings. The 28-year-old has appeared in each of the Wild's 13 matchups following a five-game absence due to an upper-body injury, and he's racked up multiple hits in 11 of those appearances.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Slings helper in loss
Rotowire
Trenin provided an assist, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Avalanche.
Trenin helped out on Zach Bogosian's tally late in the first period. With four points over eight games since he returned from an upper-body injury, Trenin is in one of his best stretches of the season, but that's not saying much for his offense. He has just seven points with 33 shots on net, 18 PIM, a plus-6 rating and 109 hits over 37 outings overall.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Capitalizes on mistake in win
Rotowire
Trenin netted a shorthanded goal on three shots and added three hits, one blocked shot and one takeaway in 12:58 of ice time in Thursday's 4-3 shootout win over Washington.
Trenin gave his club a 2-1 lead late in the opening stanza after Charlie Lindgren turned the puck over behind the net. Trenin had just one point across the first two months of the season, but he's been more productive of late with three goals and two helpers over his last 10 games. The Russian forward is known more for his physical style of play -- he's dishing out just under three hits per game in 2024-25. Through 34 appearances, Trenin has contributed three goals, three assists, 16 PIM, 30 shots on goal, 100 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Contributes two helpers in return
Rotowire
Trenin notched two assists, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-3 win over the Blackhawks.
Trenin missed five games due to an upper-body injury. He had done little on offense prior to the injury, though he scored twice in the four games before his absence. For the season, the physical forward has five points, 23 shots on net, 84 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 30 contests. Trenin is likely to fill a bottom-six role going forward, and his limited scoring upside will preclude him from being a factor in most fantasy formats.

Trenin should return to the lineup against Chicago on Monday after missing the last five games.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) has been participating in team skates recently and is making progress in his recovery, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports Friday.
Trenin has missed three consecutive games due to an upper-body injury, and he was placed on injured reserve Thursday. While he'll be sidelined Friday against Utah and will likely be unavailable for Saturday's game against Winnipeg, it seems as though he's closer to day-to-day than week-to-week. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return before the NHL's Christmas break.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Lands on injured reserve
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Trenin has missed the last three games due to his upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action. Prior to his absence, he logged two goals, an assist, 82 hits, 15 blocked shots and 14 PIM while averaging 13:37 of ice time over 29 appearances this season. Devin Shore was also sent to AHL Iowa on Thursday, so it's not yet clear who will occupy a fourth-line role for the Wild during the team's back-to-back set that includes games against Utah on Friday and against Winnipeg on Saturday.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Unavailable Wednesday
Rotowire

It will be Minnesota's third straight game without Trenin. He has two goals, three points, 14 PIM and 82 hits in 27 appearances in 2024-25. Brendan Gaunce, who was recalled from AHL Iowa on Monday, is set to make his Minnesota debut.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Questionable Wednesday
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) remains a doubt ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Florida, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Trenin was working in a non-contact jersey Tuesday, but head coach John Hynes wasn't willing to rule him out for Wednesday's contest. If Trenin can't play, the Wild will have to either deploy seven defensemen or keep Devin Shore up in the NHL for a little longer -- assuming he clears waivers Tuesday.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Scores late to prevent shutout
Rotowire
Trenin scored a goal and added two hits in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Trenin couldn't buy a goal over the first two months of the season, but he's now scored in back-to-back games. His tally Saturday had no impact other than breaking up Darcy Kuemper's shutout bid with 1:13 to go in the contest. Trenin is at three points, 19 shots on net, 73 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 27 appearances, and his limited offense in a bottom-six role shouldn't intrigue many fantasy managers.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Deposits empty-netter
Rotowire
Trenin scored a shorthanded empty-net goal and added three hits in Friday's 5-1 win over the Ducks.
The goal was Trenin's first of the season, and it was his first point since Oct. 19 versus the Blue Jackets. The 27-year-old has stayed in the lineup amid his lengthy slump, playing in a bottom-six role. In addition to his two points, Trenin has produced 71 hits, 14 PIM, 18 shots on net and a plus-6 rating over 26 appearances. He's not a notable depth scorer, so he has very limited fantasy value.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: Cold on offense
Rotowire
Trenin's point drought reached 16 games in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Jets.
During the scoring slump, he has 10 shots on net and 49 hits. The 27-year-old is best known for his physical play, but he's also contributed at least 17 points over each of the last three seasons. In 2024-25, he's at one assist, 14 shots, 62 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 21 outings in a bottom-six role. Trenin's a non-factor in fantasy until he shows something more on offense.

Wild's Yakov Trenin: On the ice at camp
Rotowire
Trenin (upper body) is skating at the Wild's camp, but he won't play in the preseason opener versus the Jets on Saturday.
Signed to a four-year deal in July, Trenin does not appear to have any lingering concerns from the upper-body injury that kept him out of the Avalanche's last playoff contest. He'll compete for a bottom-six role with the Wild, though his contract assures he'll be in the lineup most of the time. Between Colorado and Nashville last year, Trenin produced 12 goals, five assists, 40 PIM, 116 shots on goal and 207 hits in 76 regular-season contests.

Trenin exited midway through the first period, and it appears unlikely he'll be able to return to the game. If the Avalanche lose Wednesday, the injury will end his season, though it's unclear if he'll be available for Friday's Game 6 should the Avalanche win.
