The Minnesota Wild have been on a tear, and are now second in the Central division with a game in hand on the next team down. Expectations of this success was, perhaps, not as rampant as it has been in years past. Combine that with what some could have called a slow start, and I was wondering what was behind the Wild’s winning ways?
At first, my thought was that the Wild must be controlling play and simply out-shooting teams.... this is a half-truth which I will cover more later. Suffice for now to say that the Wild are in the bottom third of the league in Shot Attempts %.
