The Wild power play has gotten off to early success. After going 0-for-28 to start last season, any bit of success is a huge improvement year over year. Minnesota now ranks tied for 7th with a 21.7 percent power play mark 10 power play goals. For years fans have been asking for the Wild to use the man-advantage as a weapon to make teams pay for their lack of discipline. It's been the one positive for the Wild's special teams since the penalty kill got off to a slow start.
