The Minnesota Wild have been surprising many this season, ranking second overall in the NHL and first overall in the Central Division with a record of 38-13-6. As of right now, they are in more than solid playoff positioning and are looking like more of a Cup Contender than ever in their history.
The success this season is due to many reasons. Stellar goaltending from Devan Dubnyk, a top pick for this year’s Vezina Trophy ranking first in the league in wins (31) and save percentage (.933), an offensive explosion from newcomer Eric Staal who already has 44 points after netting 39 all of last season, and a defense that has combined for 119 points. However, an emerging face continues to show why he will be an important piece for the team for years to come. That face is Charlie Coyle. The 24-year old winger turned center in is the middle of his best season of his career, currently with 14 goals and 30 assists, totaling 44 points in 57 games played. He is tied for second place on the team with Staal, and trails Mikael Granlund (51 points) by seven. In 82 games played last season, Coyle had 42 points, so just by looking at the raw numbers we can see how much he has improved.
