A week ago, the Minnesota #wild looked locked into the 3rd place spot in the top-heavy Central Division. Since then, the Dallas #stars have lost 4 straight and the Wild have closed to within three points of taking over 2nd and gaining home-ice in the first round. With only 9 games left in the season (10 for Dallas) and a game still left against the Stars, every point matters down the stretch.
The Wild are in Boston tonight to take on the #bruins who are locked into a tight playoff battle of their own. In the meantime, Dallas is in Pittsburgh to take on a #penguins team that is also in the thick of the playoff hunt, trying to hold off the #islanders and #bluejackets, both of whom are only a point behind 2nd place Pittsburgh.
It's not playoff hockey yet, but it's starting to feel like it. Go Wild!!! #nhl
