Under Pressure: How the Wild’s Top Line Suffocates its Opponent Into Submission

The month of November hasn’t been very kind to the Minnesota Wild’s offense thus far. In five games they’ve managed to score more than two goals in a game just once and were shutout in a tilt against the Avalanche. To put that into perspective, the Wild failed to score more than two goals in a game just twice in the entire month of October.

But it hasn’t been all bad on the offensive side of the puck for the Wild. While most of the lineup has struggled to make the most of their scoring chances the top line of Nino Niederreiter, Eric Staal and Charlie Coyle have developed into one of the most efficient lines in the NHL.
