Right now, the success of the Minnesota Wild has relied almost entirely on the ability to chase games where they have dug themselves a hole.
This was, once again, on full display in another overtime thriller against Anaheim. The Wild improved to 4-0 in a game that once again saw themselves catching up to a lead, blowing it, and then once again catching. While the winning has been amazing, Wild fans are likely hoping the team can find a way to add some lead-holding and control of games to their repertoire.
Tonight, the Wild will host the Nashville Predators, the first matchup between the two teams in the regular season since the Predators swapped divisions in the pandemic year.
