Eric Stall - Minnesota Wild
Something has clicked for Eric Stall, or to put it in a vague term, something has clicked for the Minnesota Wild. Once sitting outside of a playoff spot, the wild are third in the central division, having gone 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. The last 4 games have been something special for the Wild's impact player Stall. Stall has tallied 7 points in the last 4 games, 4 goals and 3 assists. The 33 year old center has not been having a bad year at the face off dot either, having a 50.9 percentage puts him among the best in face offs this season. Stall is not showing any signs of his age, and has 20 games to beat his point total of last season, which sat at 65. This will be easy for the Stanley Cup champion of 2006 only needing 6 more points to hit 65.
Reports are coming in now that Stall tallied a hat trick tonight against the St Louis Blues. Stall and the wild show no sign of stopping their push for the playoffs.
