2. Minnesota Wild

Previous: No. 1

Record: 41-14-6 (88 points)

After trading for Martin Hanzal earlier this week, the Wild are going all in. With Hanzal, Mikko Koivu and Eric Staal, the Wild could be the deepest team at center in the league. The top two plus/minus players in the league both play defense for the Minnesota Wild and play on the same line. Ryan Suter and Jared Spurgeon are playing great and keeping the puck out of the net. This team is dangerous and is out to prove it is a contender.
