#mnwild: Some chatter about the drought from the Boldy/Ek/Tarasenko line. Over the last 6 games when Kaprizov/Rossi/Johanssom have seemingly been scoring at will, 12-14-91 have just 1 5v5 goal in about 41 minutes together. That said, they’ve been tasked with shutting down the top line in every game in each of those 6 games and have allowed just 2 goals against in those same minutes. Tough to match up analytics perfectly, but my estimate is roughly 55-60% of their 5v5 minutes each game have been against these lines: Mammoth: Schmidt/Keller/Schmaltz - 1 GA Sharks: Celebrini/Smith/Toffoli - 0 GA Jets: Connor/Vilardi/Scheifele - 1 GF Penguins: Crosby/Rust/Hallander - 1 GA Canucks: Boeser/Kane/Pettersson - 0 GA Predators: Forsberg/O’Reilly/Evangelista - 0 GA They have a 42% xG share in that time frame, so not dominating those lines, but to hold those 18 forwards to just 2 5v5 goals across 6 games is pretty darn good. Will be interesting to see if this changes when Johansson likely joins Boldy and Ek on Friday on the Island.

‼️ #mnwild have added their former LD Prospect Daemon Hunt back to the fold by claiming him off waivers from #CBJ! 🗣️ @VISportsTalk and I talked last night on @WildlyInf0rmed about why we think this move makes sense for #mnwild and where he could fit in to the current Defensive Core.
