The end of the NHL season is always hard. It’s a struggle to play 82 games, and it might be expected that a team stumble a little bit. The Minnesota Wild are hoping that’s all these last couple of games have been…a late season stumble.
Losing is one thing, but for this club losing 3 out of the last 4 games is downright uncharacteristic. The Wild have built their season on consistent play, winning the week as their head coach has put it in the past. This Wild squad has been so good in minimizing the damage they are according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune 16-4-2 following a loss and until last night were winners of 10 games in a row after a loss.
