Mikko Koivu has the Wild’s only goals in 148:12, dating back to defenseman Erik Reitz’s third-period goal Nov. 15 vs. Columbus.

Koivu is the lone Wild forward to be credited with a goal in 172:24, dating back to Benoit Pouliot’s first-period PPG Nov. 15. 

No other Wild forward has scored an even-strength goal since Andrew Brunette  Nov. 6 at Colorado - a span of 340:04.

But offense isn’t a concern, eh?

The Wild is tied with Ottawa for last in the NHL with 24 even-strength goals. Seventeen games. Twenty-four even-strength goals.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard, not to pick on one player, ranks 374th in the NHL with 19 shots. We all know he’s struggling to find chemistry with his linemates after the loss of Brian Rolston, but one would think he’d have to adjust his game and shoot more if this is the case.
