So far this season, the Minnesota Wild have remained above water in the Western Conference standings. Despite suffering a rash of injuries and illness, the Wild have continued their winning ways.
Through 18 games, the Wild have a 10-5-3 record and if the playoffs started today, they would be one of the 16 teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Ill admit - I didn't keep Vanek in a points-only, based in large part on his useage last year with the Wild. 2nd/3rd line, 2nd PP unit. Early on, he appears to be proving me wrong.
That said, he's always been kinda streaky so maybe this is just the strong part of the streaky side
