1. 6 Road Wins
The Wild have been winning anywhere and everywhere. After beating the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh they extended their road winning streak to six straight win in regulation. That’s the longest road winning streak in franchise history. What they leave behind them on the road is similar to what you’ll find on the road in Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. Ashes. Vigilantism. A shopping cart with three wheels. Canned beans. Not sure why that is, but it’s a verifiable fact.
