Wearing number 46 for the Wild, Spurgeon played 14:42 minutes and registered one shot on goal in a 3–0 shutout loss to the Calgary Flames. He scored his first NHL goal on February 22 against Nikolai Khabibulin of the Edmonton Oilers.
During the 2012–13 NHL lockout Spurgeon and Tyler Ennis, best friends since boyhood, played together for the SCL Tigers of the National League A in Switzerland.
On December 21, 2015, the Minnesota Wild announced they signed Spurgeon to a 4-year, $20.75 million contract extension. He played much of the season on the Wild's top defensive pairing with Ryan Suter.
On September 14, 2019, with one year remaining on his contract, Spurgeon signed a seven-year, $53.025 million contract extension with the Wild. He was named the franchise's second full-time captain in January 2021 before the start of the Covid virus-delayed season.
