6 Games, 2 Stories: What’s Plaguing the Wild

The Wild, after going on an absolute tear, have backslid hard. In the past six games, the Wild have lost four. There are two prevailing theories as to what plagues the Wild. Either the goalies are playing poorly, or Boudreau has forgotten how to coach.

The truth is, of course, somewhere in the middle. After months of riding goalies posting save percentages of over 94% consistently (with the occasional foray into the low 90’s and high 80’s) the inverse has happened. Over the past six games, just twice has the MN Wild posted a save percentage over 90%, and then it was merely 91.
