When the Minnesota Wild unveiled their lineup for their Saturday night match against the Washington Capitals, it would have taken the most optimistic person in the entire world, to picture them earning two points in their return to The X.
Well, they did exactly that so maybe we should be more positive.
With basically every top Wild regular but Mats Zuccarello, Matt Dumba, Marcus Foligno, and Kevin Fiala, out of the lineup, it was lineup full of inexperienced rookies or simple role players. Hell, it even included Victor Rask, who cleared waivers earlier this week.
