After going on an eight-game winning streak, the Minnesota Wild have been humbled. Losing their last two games in some sort of frustrating referee-influenced way, making it known that the league won’t let you get away with stuff for too long, to simply bring you back to earth. Well, they have a tough one ahead of them.
The Carolina Hurricanes have moved from potential dark horse Stanley Cup candidate, to a certain force that will no doubt remain competitive for the next little while. The hype has subsided, but they are still winning so many damn games.
