After suffering a crushing loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night, Minnesota returned home with the hopes of turning the ship around. After being one of the top teams in the league at the midway point of the year, the Minnesota Wild have dropped seven of their last nine (outscored 43-29 in that stretch) and have seen glaring issues emerge in their play every night. With Matt Dumba returning to the lineup, Wild fans are begging one of the issues, defensive depth, to be resolved.
Getting a win against the Dallas Stars in most of the season has not been too difficult of an affair.
