As it stands this morning, it would appear that the Wild has gotten through the injury adversity that plagued the team for the first three months of the season [knock on wood, knock on wood, knock on wood]. With Zach Parise’s impressive return to NHL action in the books, another key Minnesota forward is slated to re-join the squad this evening, with Nino Niederreiter ready to go.
During the very up-and-down first half of the current campaign, the Wild fanbase had clearly lost some of its faith and enthusiasm, after a franchise record 106 pointsin ’16-’17 elevated expectations.
