Last week in this space, I wrote about how some of the Minnesota Wild’s underlying numbers look strong, despite the Wild’s poor results during the month of March. Since that post, the Wild has taken two loser points of a possible eight points from four games against Philadelphia, Vancouver, Detroit and Washington. Wee!
There’s a lot of angst around this team right now and, last week, we went through xGF%, CF% and PDO with the latter being the real issue during this “slump.” As you know, PDO is the combination of shooting and save percentage, and typically stays around 100.
