Teams #7 and #8

#8 – Minnesota Wild

Previous Ranking: #8

Record Last Week: 2-1-1

It wasn’t a bad week for the Wild. Wins against the last place Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers keep the Wild in the playoff hunt. Currently, they hold down the second wild-card spot. There are four other teams at their heels for that position. This week they make the New York road trip, including games on back to back nights.

#7: Anaheim Ducks

Previous Ranking: NR

Record Last week: 2-1-1

The Duck vault into this week’s rankings after an impressive showing. Last week, they garnered wins over Wild and Blackhawks on the road and lost in a shootout to San Jose Sharks. If they hope to stay in the top three in the Pacific Division, they will need to get passed Vegas and Dallas this week.
