Minnesota’s Wild have slipped to the bottom of a crucial NHL ranking that evaluates teams’ defensive zone coverage, a metric that has become a key indicator of playoff viability. The ranking, compiled by advanced analytics firms, tracks how effectively a squad protects the crease and limits high‑percentage shots against. With the Wild now languishing at the very bottom, their defensive lapses are highlighted as a major concern as the season approaches its climax. The team’s coaching staff will need to address this weakness if they hope to stay competitive in a league where defensive efficiency is increasingly tied to success.
