The Minnesota Wild are 4th in the Western Conference table. The Wild aren't very consistent at the moment: they recently lost to Colorado (1:4) and Seattle (1:4) away, but then prevailed over Ottawa (5:4 ОТ) and Pittsburgh (5:4 P). The Wild made a comeback from losing 1:3 to the Pens. Regardless of the score, Minnesota stick to their style and play open attacking hockey.
