Minnesota Wild: Power Rankings After Week Two
Week two was a lot kinder to the Minnesota Wild than the previous week. An overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks was followed by an overtime loss to the Carolina Hurricanes; points from both games, at least.
Whilst these aren’t the sorts of results that the Minnesota Wild can be reliant upon; grinding out to overtime makes a difference. Last year’s wild-card spot was decided by just one point, after all.
Devan Dubnyk was the real hero of the week, standing on his head with a ridiculous shot count fired at him by the Hurricanes.
The promotion of Jordan Greenway to the top line against Chicago was also a change from recent times and for all intent and purposes, appeared somewhat inspired.
