Wild look forward to a new start after March malaise
Minnesota enters a rare four-day break after a 6-3 loss, with players saying the pause could help them reset before the playoffs.
- Following a 6-3 road loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday, the Minnesota Wild are using a rare four-day break to reset after players admitted the performance was only a 40-minute effort.
- The Wild missed an opportunity to secure a playoff spot in Boston, though they can clinch a berth with a win this Thursday against Vancouver, the NHL's worst team by record.
- Defenseman Faber said the time off allows players to relax and "get home, spend time with the guys," noting the team is "not playing quite as good as we're capable."
- With five of the final eight regular season games on the road, the Wild look to leverage their superior away record while preparing for an almost certain Dallas playoff opener.
- After going 4-5-2 in their last 11 games, the Wild remain optimistic that flipping the calendar past a difficult March will spark a return to their November form as an established top-five NHL team.
