The 26 remaining regular season games for the Minnesota Wild are either going to be a pretty good time or stressful as ever. Currently, the Wild sit in the second Wild Card spot with a 30-21-5 record and have earned 65 points.
Winning their last two games have kept them afloat but it’s also thanks to other teams around them in the standings dropping points that they should earn. Just last night, if the Calgary Flames beat the lowly Philadelphia Flyers, they would be even with the Wild in points but instead they are now two below and really the only other contender for the second Wild Card spot.
