Command Analysis

Minnesota Wild

Current form
It seemed that Minnesota had finally come to its senses, as it began to delight the fans with successful results. The team even managed to score two consecutive victories over Boston (1-0) and Seattle (4-3). However, the club's success came to an end again, and it continued to lose points from match to match. The Savages went on a visit to Vancouver, where they failed to show their attacking potential, losing with a score of 1:3. The visitors created a huge number of dangerous chances in the Canucks zone, but the puck stubbornly did not fly to the target, and out of 38 shots, only one was successful.
Returning to the home arena, the team faced Pittsburgh, and the situation repeated itself. Throughout the match, the Wild looked much more active than their opponent, but managed to score only one goal, which led to another defeat (1:3). As you can see, the injury to the club's most productive player in the person of Kaprizov had a strong impact on the overall results. Due to the large number of points lost, the team has already dropped to sixth place in the Western Conference table.
