Wilderness Walk 11-23-2013: Game Day Edition

Hello, Wilderness!

Today, your Minnesota Wild have their first road meeting with the Winnipeg Jets.

Before today's game, the Wild currently stand in 4th place in the central division, and 7th place in the western conference and the entire NHL.

The Wild have won their first 2 meetings with the Jets, so I'm feeling pretty good about this one.

Hope you all enjoy the game tonight, Wilderness!

Until then, let's walk.
