Good day, Wilderness! After that tough 6-1 loss to the Sharks in San Jose on Thursday, the Wild now have only 4 games remaining in the regular season. That leaves very little room for error, since any kind of a screw-up now could potentially take the Wild out of a playoff spot. The Wild start their final 3-game homestand of the season, starting tomorrow night with the Flames once again. The Wild came out successful against them earlier this week with a 4-3 victory in Calgary. In their previous home game against the Flames, they also came out victorious with a 2-1 shootout win. These last 2 days off for the Wild should help them play strong in these last 4 games. Now, let's take a Walk:

Wild moving Minor League team to Iowa - KDUZ - We have heard about this since last week, but now the move is official. The new team is going to be named the Iowa Wild (how original! - not), but that has not yet been confirmed by the Wild. The reason for the move is that the Wild were unable to renew their agreement with the Toyota Center in Houston.
