There is no reason to sugar coat the Minnesota Wild’s season: They were a disappointment. A team that hadn’t missed the playoffs for six seasons barely averaged a point per game. In the first 19 games, they scored 62 goals (3.26 per game) which was 8th best in the league with a record of 12-5-2.
From mid-November on (63 games), the Minnesota Wild were only able to score 148 times (2.34 per game), a record of 25-31-7, and to the bottom of the central. From the deadline until the end of the season, the Minnesota Wild were the bottom of the NHL in scoring, netting 38 goals in 19 games.
