Incredibly, the Wild still have a chance at the post season. Any other season, and they’d be toast. Tied with the Arizona Coyotes with 79 point, both teams are just two points behind the Colorado Avalanche for the Western Conference’s 2nd Wild Card spot. It’s also not like the Dallas Stars, who own the 1st Wild Card spot, have that locked down tight either with 82 points. All this is to say that the Wild still have a chance, but very slim one at that at making the playoffs.
Enter the Nashville Predators.
