After winning four straight, Minnesota dropped three contests before beating the playoff-bound Florida Panthers at home Sunday afternoon. The club is now 5-3 in the John Torchetti Era.
This week starts with a bang with the NHL's Trade Deadline coming at 2 PM CT on Monday. The Minnesota Wild have been rumored to be in talks for players like Boston's Loui Eriksson, Tampa Bay's Jonathan Drouin, and even Edmonton for a couple different notable names. It'll be very interesting to see what this team looks like in just a few short hours from this writing.
As of today, Minnesota sits just two points outside of the eighth and final playoff spot in the West with a 28-25-10 record and 66 points.
