Scouting Take
The Minnesota Wild profile as a balanced, two-way team that can beat you multiple ways. They don't need overtime. Most of their wins come in regulation, a sign of genuine dominance. Currently scorching, one of the hottest teams in hockey over the last 10.
Every metric ranked vs. the league, sorted best to worst. Long bar = advantage.
Key Takeaway
Clear strengths in reg wins, home, defense, all above the 65th percentile. No glaring weaknesses below the 35th percentile, a hard team to game-plan against.
Rank out of 32 teams in each category.

16 games. Corsi (CF%) and Fenwick (FF%) are shot-attempt shares; xGF% weights those attempts by chance quality. PDO is shooting plus save percentage × 10. It regresses hard toward 100, so a team far from it is usually running hot or cold rather than good or bad. Percentages are coloured against break-even at even strength only; special teams are lopsided by definition. These are raw, unadjusted totals: no score, venue or schedule adjustment.
