Here's some data:

 

Minny is a pretty strong 22-12-8, good for 4th in the brutal Central Division and 5th in  the WC.

 

They are 11th in scoring, 5th in goals against, 20th on the PK and 21st on the PP.

 

Despite having had a pretty good season so far, they've lost 4 out of 6 since New Year's.  This is their 7th game in the last 11 days.

 

Their leading scorer is Koivu with 33 pts in 42 games; 2nd-leading scorer is Suter (a defenseman), with 28 pts in 42 games.

 

Vanek, still postered prominently on PAFan's walls, has a decent 13 goals and 27 pts in 42 games despite only getting 16 min per game; Pommer has a measly 5 goals in 42 games in 17 min per game.

 

Expected goalies:  CJ and Dubnyk.  Dubnyk looks like he's having a good if unspectacular season at 18-11-4 with a 2.29 GAA and .922 SV%. 

 

Go Sabres.

The Wild franchise has become what Sabres were for most of their pre-tank, post-French Connection history: respectably good but not scaring anyone.

 

Spot on Duds!  I still can see Nashville passing them at some point before the end of the season.
