The Minnesota Wild are four games into the season and have only one win. The Wild were fortunate to push two games to overtime to salvage some points before losing, but three losses and one win is not a great look to start the season.
Before we go any further, let’s be clear: the Wild are not yet in trouble; four games is less than 5% of the season total, and there is plenty of time to turn things around. Let’s also be clear that two overtime losses are not far off from two overtime wins, particularly when one of those is in the shootout.
