Wild in first place, but must face Division rivals in final games

Besides my growing frustration with the Minnesota Wild team, I have to point out the fact that they are first in the NHL Standings for the Northwest Division with 87 points. The Wild have three Canadian road games in the next 4 days, though, so it could be a tough couple of days. Actually, the rest of the season is rather tough considering the remaining 8 games are all against Northwest Division teams. Is every NHL schedule that way? That is a total fluke, or is it? The last eight games of the season against Division rivals! Wow. I guess the division is the Wilds to win or lose, it’s totally up to them.  Stay tuned!
