The Minnesota Wild have come alive recently, crawling out of the basement of the League Standings and now could be competing for a Wild Card spot as we enter the middle of December. Thirty-one games into the season, we’re already a third of the way through the year; we have a pretty good idea of what teams are good and what teams aren’t. Like the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins- Good teams, they’ll be in postseason contention when April comes around. The Detroit Red Wings and the Ottawa Senators- Bad teams, they’ll be watching lotto balls while most everyone else is watching playoff hockey.
