On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we compare last season to this year through 31 games. We look at the scoring pace, as well as what has led to this year's team being better in terms of goaltending, defense and special teams. We discuss individual performances, such as Kirill Kaprizov being slightly ahead of his pace last year. We look at the hot starts for Marcus Foligno and Ryan Hartman, and who has stepped up to help overcome their slow starts and injuries so far this year. We discuss the goaltending differences, with this year's goalies having had to carry the team for a couple of different stretches. And we finish by discussing the chances this year's team may fare better than last years in the postseason.
