The Minnesota Wild avoided a catastrophe before the season started after they signed superstar Kirill Kaprizov to the richest contract in NHL history. But so far this season, the play on the ice hasn't been great for the Wild team as a whole. Through 14 games, the wild have a 5-6-3 record, resulting in them sitting in seventh place in the Central Division. Things have started off so poorly, that the team held a players-only meeting, held by Jared Spurgeon.
Since that meeting, the Wild had won two consecutive games, bringing an end to their skid.
