Looking at their points last season, the Minnesota Wild needed to deliver 6.16 points every five games to achieve that result.
At worst, to achieve the wild card spot that the Colorado Avalanche tied up, they needed 5.8 points per five game block.
Using these as a baseline, coupled with the Nashville Predators’ conference winning 7.13 points every five games, we’re going to look at the current state of affairs for the Minnesota Wild.
Their first five games haven’t been fantastic; they’re yet to score a regulation win, have scraped some points but are far too reliant in the early going on Devan Dubnyk.
