The Minnesota Wild once again had an up-and-down week, where they won a game and lost two, and were grieving the loss of a special member of their community, NHL.com Wild writer Jessi Pierce, and her children, who were lost in a house fire this past week.
The Wild did have a boost to their lineup as they got Kirill Kaprizov, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Marcus Foligno back in their lineup. This week, they have four days off before they have a game later in the week at home, plus a quick back-to-back on the road to finish up the week. Here are a couple of storylines to follow for the week of Mar. 30 – Apr. 6.
Wild Need to Be Themselves
The past few weeks, fans have seen a lot of ups and downs from this Wild team, and a lot of struggling to play their game. They’ve found ways to get some wins, but they’ve also found ways to lose. They need to find their game, the speed, the energy, and the flow that made them so successful to start with.
