Thanks to their remarkable 11-game point streak, the Minnesota Wild have seemingly managed to turn their season around after one of the worst starts in franchise history. Their point streak was snapped against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, but all good things must come to an end, right? In the third game of a road trip, against a very good, fast team like Carolina, a loss isn’t exactly unacceptable.
Unfortunately, the Wild lost their second straight game Tuesday — this time against the Anaheim Ducks on the same night as Mikko Koivu’s 1,000th game ceremony.
