That's Wild
- Because of the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championships taking place in Minnesota, the Wild have been on a very long road trip and still are on the very same road trip that started 12 days ago in Winnipeg. It has been a difficult trip -- maybe not for the actual record, since the Wild have gone an adequate 3-1-2 over the six games since Dec. 27, but lately it's really worn on the team. Back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Kings, a team that is in the tier below them, and now facing a Seattle Kraken team, who is certainly in a tier or two below the Wild. Just one last game.
