Seven Days: Minnesota (Central 4th)

The Wild have not gotten better. They are still a tough team and in a seven game series could COULD beat anyone, but the top-tier teams will probably win in six. That is where they have been (even before goalie Devan Dubnyk arrived, by the way).

Record:
17gms 10 - 4 - 3, 10 ROW (projected: 12- 5 - 3)

Injuries:
Captain Zach Parise left wing - returning from injury soon.

Next Seven (Nov. 19th - 25th):
Thursday at Boston
Saturday Nashville visits
Wednesday Vancouver visits

They need to beat Boston and Vancouver. Three wins, or even a loss in OT/SO to Nashville and this seven days is a win.

4pts

Last Seven (Nov. 12th - 18th):
Win 3 - 2 (OT) at Carolina
Loss 2 - 3 (OT) at Dallas
Loss 3 - 4 at Pittsburgh

Splitting these three isn't terrible, especially without Zach Parise in the lineup.
