Wild hold moment of silence for Prince
The tributes to Prince continued before Game 6 between the Minnesota Wild and the Dallas Stars on Sunday.
The Wild held a moment of silence for the late icon, who died Thursday at the age of 57.
It wasn't the only way the club remembered the singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, who was born in the North Star State and lived there until his death.

The tributes involved even more of Prince's music.

"Let's Go Crazy" will be the #mnwild goal song today. They were thinking pregame of maybe alternating between that and Delirious, too

On Saturday night, the Wild teased their plans with a sneak peek at the Xcel Energy Center seats.
They also added a purple background to the profile pictures for all of their social media platforms following Prince's death.
