“Uncovering the Secrets Behind the NHL’s Unranked: What Lies in Store for the Wild and Canadiens?”
But good shape still feels scary when you were a lock not that long ago. It’s really only been in the last few days that the alarm bells have started ringing, but the slump has been longer than that. After finishing the first half at an impressive 26-11-4, the Wild have gone just 15-17-1 since then, a 77-point pace. Maybe the bigger question than whether they can make the playoffs is whether they should bother, since they don’t seem like much of a threat right now.
They’ve got a three-game road trip against the Devils, Rangers and Islanders this week before returning home to face the Stars and Sharks. Then comes the last road trip of the regular season, a two-game swing against the Flames and Canucks that could be crucial. Or it could be meaningless, if the Wild can bank enough points this week to put this thing away before scary turns into terrifying.
