The Wild’s team defense has been excellent this season. Special shout-out to Brodin who is still absolutely incredible at shutting everything down in the neutral and D zone, looks every bit as good as he ever has. With Spurgeon’s injury again they have split Faber-Brodin and Faber has been incredible running his own pairing, not enough good things can be said about those two.
Boldy on the front end has been playing a ridiculously good 200 foot game, the defensive effort has been outstanding, so clean with his stick lifts and leveraging his position for clean exits. He’s been a true difference maker all over the ice, really really cool to see him coming into his own as a creative, all situations impact player in this league.
