The NHL's Minnesota Wild has finalized a multiyear partnership with dental solutions provider Solventum.

The partnership will kick off with Nordy’s Chipped Tooth campaign for the 2026-2027 season. The team’s wild animal mascot will chip his tooth and undergo treatment from team dentists using Solventum’s Filtek matrix, a conservative treatment for anterior smile restorations.

Starting September 18, fans can try to win four club-level tickets to a Wild game if they correctly guess how Nordy injured his tooth. Visit the NHL site to select one of three possible scenarios.
