After making several changes during the season, the Minnesota Wild found a top line worthy of the name. Their top line has been in disarray for most of the season. It started with Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello, along with various centers from Ryan Hartman to Joel Eriksson Ek, and even rookie Marco Rossi got a crack.In recent seasons, the Wild had top lines, but they did not produce the output normally expected from a top line in the NHL.
Until then they added their star Kaprizov. He’s struggled a bit with injuries, but once he’s on and they find the right friends, he’s almost impossible to stop.Initially the pairing was made with Zuccarello.

However, sometimes they forgot that they had other teammates and did not pass to the starting players or the other team predicted the pass.
After a while, they started making mistakes and not producing, so they need to adjust.The last few seasons the Wild have had top lines, but they haven’t performed at the level normally expected of a top line in the NHL.
