…And just like that, the Wild put themselves back into the playoff race.
Just when you thought Minnesota was ready to roll over and call it a season, it comes out and actually puts a pretty good performance together—AND ON HOME ICE!—to take down the Rangers in a 5-2 no-doubter. Granted the Blueshirts aren’t all that good, but still, pretty much everybody in green played well and found a way to contribute to the victory.
Entering play Sunday, Minnesota is back to within two points of the Arizona Coyotes, who hold the final wild card spot but lost Saturday in overtime to Edmonton.
