The Minnesota Wild recently concluded two investigations into their code of conduct, and the organization said Thursday night it took "appropriate steps" to address the matters that were brought to its attention.

The Athletic reported that general manager Bill Guerin was the focus of an investigation following a complaint by an employee who accused the team's president of hockey operations and general manager of verbal abuse. The Athletic's report was based on anonymous sourcing, and the team statement made no mention of Guerin.

The NHL informed its executives and owners during its board of governors meeting Monday that it is projecting it will raise next year's salary cap to $87.7 million, a source told ESPN, confirming multiple reports.

If those projections hold, it would be an increase of $4.2 million from the current NHL salary cap, which is $83.5 million. It would also be the largest single-year increase for an NHL salary cap since the 2019-20 season. That year saw the cap rise by $4.5 million.
