On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins the show to recap a busy week of ups and downs that ended in the Wild clinching a playoff spot. We look at the huge lift the Fiala line provided to balance out arguably the worst game of the season for the Kaprizov line. We discuss Jacob Middleton's continued great play, and how the Wild were able to keep things close despite missing a handful of key pieces. We discuss what the team should do to approach the final 7 games of the season now that a playoff spot is secured, such as resting key players when the opportunity arises. We look at continued abysmal play from both the Power Play and Penalty Kill, and why it is time to go back to the drawing board for both units. We finish by looking at a week filled with winable games, but games that the Wild can't overlook if they want to keep picking up wins.
