On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins as we start by recapping a rough loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. and what the Wild can do about their concerning defense. We discuss why no changes were made in the offseason, and why neither Alex Goligoski or Jon Merrill are full time players anymore. We also discuss the impressive starts for Marco Rossi and Brock Faber. With Rossi it all stems from confidence, and he has a ton out on the ice right now. Faber's numbers considering what the rest of the defense is doing are extremely impressive. We finish by looking at what the lineup could look like if Matt Boldy misses time, and preview games this week against Montreal, Los Angeles and Columbus!
