The Minnesota Wild were flying high. Nothing could really stop the feeling that this season is different, with former breakout star Kevin Fiala finally getting some points on the board and Kirill Kaprizov being the rookie sensation that he was headlined to be, no one could bring this team and its fans down.
With back-to-back quasi miracle comebacks against the Los Angeles Kings to start the season and some periods of dominance against the Anaheim Ducks and San Jose Sharks, there is a successful team in here. But surrounding them current is this shroud of instability and uncertainty of which Wild team we will be watching every time we tune in.
