In losing to the Nashville Predators, we had an inkling that the team had started to get things together. Whilst they ultimately lost the game, the Minnesota Wild’s game play was significantly improved to that seen on previous outings.
It almost was inevitable that a decent win was coming, and the Arizona Coyotes proved the perfect fodder, before a convincing win over divisional rivals, the Dallas Stars.
The Minnesota Wild wrapped up a big week with a very big win, taking the Tampa Bay Lightning, an early season favourite for the Stanley Cup, to overtime and netting the two points.
