Since the Wild lost 3-0 in Tampa on Festivus, we’ve had three restorative off-days to reflect about the team, what’s gone right lately (not much), and what’s gone wrong (most things). Hopefully you had a wonderful holiday, and you didn’t actually spend too much time thinking about those things, because that may have ruined your Christmas. With the Green ‘n’ Wheats going back to work tonight, it’s time to reluctantly put your fandom back in action as well. Welcome back, Wilderness.
Minnesota should be happy to put its recent poor road trip in the rearview, as it returns home tonight to take on a Central Division rival that it has not yet seen this regular season.
