Minnesota Wild - keep this up? (Backstrom)
..As in, can they keep it up?
Backstrom has put up some pretty decent goaltending numbers in season's past. If the team can continue to exceed expectations, even if they drop off a little bit, is there any reason to think he wont put up a really good stat line at the end of the year?

I know Harding's numbers have been great too but I expect its Backstrom's crease the majority of the way?!

bump.
any other thoughts?
I second what has already been said. I don't think they will stay at the top but they will stay better than the previous years and I think Backstrom has returned to old form because he is more comfortable in this type of system. They don't have the best defenseman in the league but a lot of the young guys played for coach Yeo in the AHL last year and know his system well. Lundin looked great his first game of the season with the Wild too, so that should help. I would expect great numbers in everything, but temper the expectations for wins from what they are doing right now.
