The 2010–11 Minnesota Wild season was the 11th season of play for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 25, 1997.^[1]

The Wild posted a regular season record of 39 wins, 35 losses and eight overtime/shootout losses for 86 points, failing to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs for the third consecutive season.

Regular season

The Wild opened the season with two games at the Hartwall Areena in Helsinki, Finland, against the Carolina Hurricanes. Goaltender Josh Harding was seriously injured and the Wild signed free agent Jose Theodore to a one-year contract upon the team's return to Minnesota. The Wild ended the regular season with a 5–3 victory over the Dallas Stars, which eliminated the Stars from playoff contention. At the conclusion of the regular season, Head Coach Todd Richards was relieved of his coaching duties.^[2]

Playoffs

The Wild attempted to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since the 2007–08 season. However, a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on April 2 eliminated the team from playoff contention.
