Minnesota Wild: After the defeat against the Kings, there is a risk of losing!

The Minnesota Wild suffered a tough defeat when they lost 5-2 to the Los Angeles Kings.

Despite this early hope, it is now the third defeat in a row for the Wild, who have only won two of their last nine games Small newspaper reported.

Weak special teams and stumbling performance

While the Wild initially started the game well, the tide turned against them, especially in the area of ​​special teams. The team has now failed in both powerplay and shorthanded games in four games in a row, once again showing them to be one of the worst teams in the NHL, successfully defending just 62.5 percent of opponents' powerplays. Coach John Hynes noted that individual mistakes plagued the team and the lack of effective plays in key moments played a big role, like that New York Times analyzed.

Marc Rossi, who not only presented himself as a friendly assistant in the past games, was also in the penalty box in the last game. His behavior, which led to penalties in three of the last four games, shows that he also has a lot of room for improvement. Despite his efforts to ignite the offense, he became part of a poor specials play that could have cost the team its final and decisive goals.
