Minnesota Wild clash with streaking St. Louis Blues
Photo by Hannah Foslien/Getty ImagesThe Minnesota Wild have changed since they suffered a 6-4 loss at the hands of the St. Louis Blues at the Winter Classic.
While that loss was the lone defeat for the Wild in January, it was a turbulent path of ups and downs after that. But that was before, and with a few tweaks and alterations, this team has a whole new feel compared to that squad.
Kirill Kaprizov is rolling, setting franchise records, dragging this team through the season's final month, and slowly creeping his way into the Hart Trophy conversation. He won't win MVP, but 40 goals and 87 points in 68 games are damn deserving of the consideration.
