The Wild have lost five straight games and 10 of the past 13. Their latest, a 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks following the four day holiday break. A frustrating game in which they out shot Chicago 48-20 and made some guy named Collin Delia look like a Vezina caliber goaltender. Failing to capitalize on their chances and putting the puck in the net is hard to come by right now for the Minnesota Wild and is evident by the team only scoring 5 goals in the past 5 games.
The Minnesota Wild currently sit four points out of a wild card spot and have an opportunity this afternoon to get a desperately needed two points against the top team in the West.
