Injuries and Standings Make 2024 a Big Hill for the Wild to Climb

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Alex Micheletti joins us to ring in the New Year! We start by recapping a frustrating weekend with two losses to Winnipeg and two injuries that could prove to be costly for the Wild. We look at Marc-Andre Fleury's continued climb up the record books, and why we hope Wild fans appreciate having Fleury on the roster even in the later stages of his career. We discuss the injuries to Kirill Kaprizov and Filip Gustavsson, and how the Wild can fill the losses of both players. We also look at the 2024 portion of the schedule for the Wild to see if they will be able to climb out of their early season funk and make the postseason. We also discuss players that need to step up and take charge.
