With yet another victory Tuesday night, the Minnesota Wild pushed their current winning streak to 11 games.
The Wild edged the Nashville Predators 3-2, putting them within a point of the Chicago Blackhawks for top spot in the Western Conference with three games in hand.
Despite the recent streak, the team has been rolling along all season which has new head coach Bruce Boudreau grinning from ear to ear, thanks in large part to one incredible stat.
"There has been one game that we've lost by more than one goal. it's not hard to be proud of them," Boudreau said, according to Michael Russo of the Star Tribune.
That's right.
Only in the team's 6-3 loss to the New York Islanders on Oct. 23 have the Wild lost by more than a single goal all season. Such a stat sees the team with the second-best goal differential at plus-37.
As fate would have it, the Wild's next test will come against those very Islanders on Thursday before they host the Columbus Blue Jackets as the league's two hottest club face off.
