The Wild’s roster remains relatively unchanged from last season. Can these Minnesota veterans make a playoff-worthy season?
Minnesota Wild (46-28-8, fourth in Central Division)
Coach: Mike Yeo (150-110-34; fifth season, fifth with team)
Key Departures: Matt Cooke, Chris Stewart, Kyle Brodziak
Key Additions: Mike Reilly, Tyson Strachan
Key Player: Devan Dubnyk
Dubnyk’s performance in net last season was nothing short of incredible. Minnesota’s biggest weakness over the past few seasons has been goaltending, but it’s no secret that Dubnyk was one of the largest factors in Minnesota’s playoff run.
