The Minnesota Wild had hoped for better than three out of six possible points last week, but it certainly could have been much worse. While Darcy Kuemper faltered in Vancouver, Devan Dubnyk stood tall in Calgary and Edmonton, managing three of four possible points in his two appearances.
Minnesota sits third in the NHL's Central Division with a 12-8-4 record and 28 points, four behind second place St. Louis, and tied with Winnipeg, Calgary and Los Angeles. The Wild have a game in hand on both the Blues and Kings, and as many as four in hand on the Jets.
