Ok, here’s the good news… The Wild is back at Xcel Energy Center tonight, where it currently holds a 22-5-6 record and where it most recently won 8-3 over the Blues. Also, Minnesota is playing a fairly bad team tonight in the Detroit Red Wings, so it’s safe to say that the Wild’s chances of getting back in the win column are pretty decent.
The bad news? Well, the Wild is back in the meat grinder. After a horrific short road trip that saw it go 0-2 against one of the league’s worst teams and then get pounded for the second time in two tries by the Colorado MacKinnons, Minnesota is now back in a wild card spot.
