I’ve went through the Minnesota Wild schedule for the season, and thoroughly dissected the games to determine which games are the most must-see. Road games are important, but for the purpose of this exercise I’m going to give you the Top 5 games that will be played at Xcel Energy Center this year.
The Minnesota Wild do not have any extremely long home stands, the longest being 5 games late in March. This is a good thing, as a long home stand can lead to complacency and unnecessary losses.
The home stand in March is at a perfect time as well, in the last quarter of the season when everyone is battling for playoff spots or playoff positioning the Team of 18,000 will be able to encourage the Wild down the stretch run of the season.
