Wild's third-period meltdown a punch in the gut
In the process of losing 15 times in 17 games from mid-December to late January, the Wild had developed a habit of treating most nights as a crucible for how they were developing. They began with the premise that they were good enough to beat most teams in the NHL when at their best - which seemed sound, considering they had the best record in the league on Dec. 12 - and figured...
