Before this month, many Minnesota Wild fans believed the team wouldn’t have their seemingly annual slump and that Head Coach Bruce Boudreau was experienced enough to help adapt the team if they did begin to struggle. Unfortunately, the Wild have lost 10 of the last 12 games and have essentially dropped out of the race for the Central Division title. As the Wild have had plenty of slumps in recent memory, how does this season’s slump compare to those of the past?
Last season, the Wild entered the new year (2016) with 46 points for fourth place in the Central Conference.
