The Jets thoroughly dominated the Wild in a bruising Game 2.

It’s pretty hard to feel good about the Wild’s chances right now.

Minnesota is, once again, down 2-0 to start a playoff series. This isn’t unfamiliar territory for the Wild, as they’ve dropped the first 2 games in 7 of their 8 playoff series during the Zach Parise - Ryan Suter era.

That’s unfortunate territory to be familiar with. According to Hockey Reference, teams that jump to a 2-0 lead go onto win the series 87.3% of the time. The Wild have fared a tiny bit better, winning 1 of those 7 series, but it’s definitely not ideal.

Especially since they’ve looked, well, bad. They gave up 40 shots in consecutive games while failing to muster 20 in either game.

But what else can we glean from this…
