There's a new kid, er, coach behind the Wild bench
A lot has happened with the Minnesota Wild since we've last seen them. Back then they were on the outside of the playoff picture, and sinking like a rock. The Blues won 4-1 that night, contributing to the impending doom surrounding coach Mike Yeo. The annual "Yeo is going to get fired" rumors actually came true a week later. After a stretch where the Wild lost 13 of 14 games (1-11-2) and 8 in a row, a change was made. The Wild relieved Yeo of his duties, and brought up their AHL head coach John Torchetti to take over.
