When I wrote my column Friday morning, the Wild were a negative team. But after impressive road wins over San Jose, and to a lesser degree, Anaheim, the Wild seem to be back to their old selves.
As of Thursday, the Wild have won 8 of 11 and are tied for the Northwest division lead.
Still, I am concerned about those recent blowout losses they have suffered, but Jacques seems to have his boys playing well again, especially on the power play.
A big test will come Saturday night when the Wild host Detroit. When they last played a few weeks ago, the Red Wings made the Wild look like a minor league team in a 5-0 win. I’ll be in attendance and will give a full report Monday on how they looked against the NHL’s best squad.
