The Wild are officially the worst team in the NHL — for now

Lose for Lafreniere? Quit for Quinton? Poopoo for Perfetti? Whatever the slogan, the Minnesota Wild are well on their way to earning one of the top selections in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft.

Despite an encouraging effort against a very good Carolina Hurricanes team on Saturday, the Wild failed to earn their eighth win of the season as they unsurprisingly lost in overtime 4-3. With Minnesota’s loss, followed by a Detroit Red Wings overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks just hours later, the Wild are now in sole possession of 31st place in the league standings.
