BAKERSFIELD, California - Head coach Derek Lalonde has professed that Iowa will need to play “.600 hockey” if they’re going to cement themselves a playoff spot this season in a more than muddled Central Division. The Wild are headed to California for the next few days, currently in the second spot with a .591 winning percentage and 52 points - a pace unparalleled in the squad’s five year history.
Against the Condors (Edmonton Oilers) tonight, the Wild have a great opportunity to get their first two of a possible six this road trip and the chance to wrap up their best five game segment of the season - 4-0-1, 9 points.
