| They've got Marian Gaborik firing on all cylinders, a stifling system of defense and home-ice advantage that is critical because the Wild finished very strong at home and much less so on the road. |
| 03/31/2008 | 6 | 11 |
| Barring a major meltdown, the Wild will clinch the NW crown in the final week and get home-ice advantage, which won't hurt a team that has won the past five in its building. |
| 03/24/2008 | 11 | 11 |
| Mark Parrish hasn't picked up a point in the past month and it might be a while before he does because coach Jacques Lemaire thinks the veteran winger isn't worth dressing these days. |
| 03/17/2008 | 11 | 12 |
| The lack of offense continues to hurt the Wild, who have not scored more than three goals in any of the past 13 games. Blame that in large part to the power play which connected only twice in the past 30 tries, and not at all in the past 18 attempts at home. |
| 03/10/2008 | 12 | 10 |
| Looks may be deceiving. The Wild is clinging to the NW lead, but Minnesota has won only three of the last 11 games and none against a playoff bound team. |
| 03/03/2008 | 10 | 14 |
| Minnesota took over first place in the Northwest with three wins to finish a road trip but without the center the Wild sought at the trade deadline. They will be much tougher physically come playoff time, though. |
| 02/25/2008 | 14 | 6 |
| Wild rides for Minnesota aren't a good thing. The Wild started the week holding a six-point lead in the NW and finished sitting one point short of the top. |
| 02/18/2008 | 6 | 7 |
| The Wild's penalty-killing unit has allowed just three power-play goals in 42 attempts since Jan. 18, which offsets a power play that has scored just four in 43 tries in the same span. |
| 02/11/2008 | 7 | 4 |
| Few teams play shutdown as well as the Wild. Minnesota has taken the lead into the third period 24 times, and its only loss was in overtime. |
| 02/04/2008 | 4 | 12 |
| Niklas Backstrom is in a zone lately, going 4-0-1 in his past five with a .949 save percentage and 1.57 goals-against average. And the offense has looked pretty good since the All- Star break as well. |
