NHL Midseason Shockers: Which Teams Are Soaring and Which Are Stumbling as Playoffs Loom?
Minnesota Wild: A
After the Wild won three of their first 12 games this season, nobody in their right mind would have predicted they’d have the third-most points in the NHL (and cutthroat Central Division) at this juncture or be the team to execute a Quinn Hughes blockbuster. But here they are, on the verge of true contender status if they can add a top-six center by the deadline. They’ve got a great blue line, great goaltending tandem and star power with Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy. — Michael Russo
