As of today, Iowa is still sitting in third in the Central Division and putting together points at a steady rate. The Griffins (Detroit) are sixth this morning, but only trail Iowa by six points. With a heavy helping of division hockey being played for the next month and a half, the Wild need to start getting towards that .600 club.
You can’t dog a team for earning points. Unless hockey goes the way of straight wins and losses, every point matters.
How the team has come to earning those points, however, is a different situation.
