The Minnesota Wild's current seven-game losing streak has been marked by a dramatic dip in the offensive output and by absences of key players, most notably Captain Mikko Koivu. The Wild went into the Christmas break on a 0-5-2 run while scoring only 9 goals in those seven games.
That's why you bank as many points as possible early in the season, so when injuries strike...

For most of the season, the Minnesota Wild have been one of the surprise teams in the NHL, surging to the top of the Western Conference standings.
In December, the joy has come to screeching halt. Monday's 4-2 loss to Colorado dropped Minnesota to 0-5-2 in its past seven games. The Wild are the first team since the 1999 Avalanche to follow up a seven-game winning streak by losing...

TUCSON - To say Nick Johnson has been the University of Arizonas most positive surprise of the basketball season would be an understatement.
People knew he was good, but not this good.
Hes a freshman who balances being aggressive and being steady.
Sound and solid.
Affable and quotable.

Not even the return of captain and leading scorer Mikko Koivu could help the Minnesota Wild end their losing streak.
If the Nashville Predators are going to break out of their brief funk, they'll have to do it without their own leader.
The Wild will look to snap a seven-game skid Wednesday night while the Predators try again to adapt to life without star defenseman Shea Weber...

The Minnesota Wild have done very well this year and catapulted out of the basement of the Western Conference to one point out of leading the Northwest Division. The additions of Dany Heatley and Devon Setoguchi have paid huge dividends and the backstopping from Backstrom and Harding has been impressive.
The Nashville Predators suffered a huge blow in the Dallas...
