Iowa Wild stumbling out of the blocks despite new cast of characters

The Iowa Wild are 1-4-1 through the first 6 games of the young AHL season. Though this is a small sample size, the baby Wild are tied for the AHL lead with 6 games played, so their sample size is somewhat more telling than many of the teams around them. Through 18 periods of hockey, the Wild have allowed a league-leading 25 scores while only netting 14 of their own. They are performing at just a .333 points-percentage. The good news is that neither the 4 points nor the .333 PPCT are lowly enough to put them in last place, which is a departure from years past.
