The Minnesota Wild have been searching for that high of last season for the last few months. It felt like a fever dream — the Wild we know and love were able to score a billion goals while also providing enough defense to win a bunch of games. Except for the small blip of goaltending crisis, this was a team that felt so good to watch and before the playoffs (oof) could have realistically done anything against anyone.
Well, the team is a little bit different this season. After having to get rid of Kevin Fiala for cap-related reasons, the Wild have not been able to consistently score enough goals to win games that they should.
