The Minnesota Wild would have to do something terribly catastrophic to not make the playoffs at this point. Even though there are teams hot on their tail, or actually even with them in points, within the Central Division, there are enough spots for this to work out and to achieve at least one of the main goals of playing in a professional hockey league. Unless they lose out and the rest of the devilish teams win out — I have not checked whether this is possible or not, I am not good at that stuff — the Wild are entering the post-season.
