“After the Whistle: Discover Which NHL Teams Are on Fire and Who’s Struggling in the Post-Deadline Shuffle!”
14. Minnesota Wild, 41-27-5
Last week: 14
Mirtle rank: 14

The importance of Thursday’s 4-2 win over the Capitals can’t be overstated. Minnesota’s grip on the first wild card spot has been loosening because of St. Louis’ wicked run, the club is banged up without Kirill Kaprizov and Joel Eriksson-Ek, and the team’s performance has been up-and-down for a while. The two points they secured against Washington and a favorable schedule down the stretch (24th easiest according to Tankathon) should have the Wild feeling more comfortable about their handle on a playoff spot.
