Marc-Andre Fleury's Minnesota Wild look like contenders this season
The Minnesota Wild have played well this season and are placed second in the Western Conference Central Division with 81 points. They are second on points difference and have every chance of taking the division this campaign.
The Wild have looked decent on offense, with 179 goals so far. Krill Kaprizov has been the top contributor to the team, with 39 goals and 40 assists to his name.
The defense has done its job and has conceded less than three goals per game this season. This has been largely thanks to the work of goaltenders Marc-Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson. Fleury's experience has yielded results, and the team will look for more from him in their upcoming games.
The Wild have played well in the second half of the season and are 8-2 in their last 10 games, which has given them enough points to challenge for the top spot. Having won their last game, the Wild will look to get the better of the San Jose Sharks on March 11, 2023.
