Let’s just start this article with a big ol’ caveat: the Minnesota Wild haven’t yet clinched a playoff berth so this article is by definition counting the Wild’s chicks before they hatch. That being said, they still have a slight lead over the Colorado Avalanche for third in the Central Division. Close behind the Avs are the St. Louis Blues and the Los Angeles Kings, dueling for the last remaining wild card slot. It’s a tight race for the privilege of facing either the Western Conference championship-winning Nashville Predators, the odds-defying Vegas Golden Knights, or the rolling Winnipeg Jets.
