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.
Nabs helper in overtime loss
DMinnesota Wild
January 10, 2026
Hunt notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders.
ANALYSIS
The assist was Hunt's first point in two games since he returned from missing 10 contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 23-year-old is filling a third-pairing role now that he's healthy again, giving him low fantasy upside. He's earned three assists, four shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 11 hits and a plus-4 rating over 14 outings this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Targeting Thursday return
DMinnesota Wild
January 5, 2026
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.
