The calendar has turned, and now it is March. Less than a month left in the season, and the Wild are still in a playoff spot, but only hold down a Wild Card position. However, with their recent play of winning five straight games, the Wild are closing in on teams in the Central Division and are only four points behind St. Louis for the third spot in the division which could pay dividends if they do catch and pass the Blues on who they could play in the playoffs. With 17 games left, the Wild need wins anyway they can take them, but for now, here’s a recap of the Wild game Saturday night along with a full recap of Saturday hockey.
