The Wild have 20 players with positive possession (5-on-5 close) since January 15 when their current run began.

Chris Stewart (1 game, 70.8%), Jordan Leopold (1 game, 61.5%), Jared Spurgeon (15 games, 60%), Jason Zucker (10 games, 58.5%), Ryan Carter (10 games, 56.8%), Jason Pominville (21 games, 56.5%), Jordan Schroeder (13 games, 54.7%), Mikko Koivu (21 games, 54.6%), Zach Parise (21 games, 54.5%), Mikael Granlund (17 games, 54.5%), Marco Scandella (19 games, 54.4%), Matt Dumba (19 games, 54.2%), Justin Fontaine (17 games, 53.1%), Nino Niederreiter (21 games, 51.9%), Erik Haula (19 games, 50.9%), Ryan Suter (19 games, 50.7%), Christian Folin (11 games, 50.3%), Jonas Brodin (21 games, 50.1%), Charlie Coyle (21 games, 50%), and Jonathon Blum (1 game, 50%).

That leaves just seven players on the roster who are under 50% CF% during that period. Four of those seven have played fewer than 10 games (including Sean Bergenheim who is at 49% and has played just three games in a Wild sweater) and only four of them are on the current active roster. Those seven include (in descending order) Bergenheim, Thomas Vanek, Stephane Veilleux, Kyle Brodziak, Nate Prosser, Matt Cooke, and Brett Sutter.
