The Minnesota Wild come into the weekend sitting sixth in the Central Division.
They have gone 3-4-1 at the start of the new campaign, but their defensive record is a concern. The Wild have allowed 27 goals already this term, which is the worst record of any side in the Central Division.
They allowed four goals in their most recent outing against the New Jersey Devils. The Wild's only goal in response was recorded by Matt Boldy in the final period.
The Utah Mammoth were overlooked by many as a potential playoff contender at the start of the season.
However, it is challenging to overlook their credentials after a strong start to the campaign. The Mammoth have gone 5-2-0 across the opening seven games, and they have recorded wins in each of their last five.
They delivered a statement win in their latest outing, with Dylan Guenther and Lawson Crouse scoring in the 4-3 success over the Colorado Avalanche.
| TOTAL | Mammoth | Wild | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 4 | 3 | 1 | - |
| GOALS | 23 | 16 | 7 |
The Minnesota Wild have endured a miserable defensive start to the campaign, and things could get worse this weekend.
The Mammoth have been eye-catching at both ends of the ice so far this term. Furthermore, they have won 75% of their previous clashes with the Wild.
