The Minnesota Wild are coming off an 83-point season, which led them to missing the playoffs in one of the toughest divisions in hockey by seven points, and ended up coming last in the division. The Predators will square off with the Wild to open up the 2019-20 season on October 3rd in Nashville.
The Wild went through an interesting offseason which involved them firing Paul Fenton and some interesting free agent moves with some key losses, key additions, and their restricted free agents they signed. They’re not widely considered a top contender in the tough Central Division this season.
