Minnesota Wild surge to 9-1-1, dominating defensively and between the pipes. Is Colorado still out of reach despite this hot streak?
Seth Toupal spotlights the resurgence led by elite D pairings like Jared Spurgeon–Jake Middleton and Jonas Brodin–Brock Faber, whose stingy defense has stifled high-danger opportunities. Goaltenders Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt are outpacing expectations, boasting stellar save percentages in 5-on-5 and penalty kill scenarios. The offense is diversifying, with Matt Boldy, Kirill Kaprizov, Marcus Johansson, and emerging contributors upping the production line-wide. Key stats reveal shifts in high-danger shot trends, expected goals, and special teams strategies, while upcoming matchups against the Colorado Avalanche and Chicago Blackhawks will test the Wild’s newfound consistency.
Will the Wild’s balanced attack and shutdown goaltending keep propelling them up the Central Division standings?

Good evening seth
Hope this hot streak continues. Excited for the Colorado game Friday
Goal tending been carrying the team is kinda crazy to see goaltending be so elite hopefully at some point offense start cooking
The goaltending, especially Jesper, has been great but that level of play is unlikely sustainable over the course of the season. Time will tell. At the very least, Jesper has proven he can be trusted which should lead to far more starts than anticipated.
Hey Seth why are you so against Tasasenko he played 18 games and has 10 points still trying to build chemistry and he was play injured when he come back we will be better then ever his a sniper just saying
It was the first time I felt like a Jets fans when Hellebuyck plays, a complete role reversal. Get a goal or two, and basically the game is over. Same for the Pittsburgh game, they had zero answers – even if they had the built in excuse of travel etc. putting a zero up on the road with Crosby and company is commendable.
When teams can’t score against you, it makes everything else so much easier. The Wild’s confidence level is noticeable and this is the team I thought they were going to be with the D core and goalies. With this goaltending, you will be in 99% of games whether you win or lose. Now, go get a high end scorer somehow and maybe, just maybe they go on a run come April.
