Wild's naughty and nice list: Who's on Santa's radar?

The Minnesota Wild's naughty and nice list reveals a season of highs and lows. Kirill Kaprizov shines with video game numbers, on pace for 53 goals and 118 points. Goaltender Filip Gustavsson impresses, ranking 4th in goals against average and 3rd in save percentage. However, special teams woes plague the Wild, with a 28th-ranked power play and 31st-ranked penalty kill since November 15th. 

Host Seth Toupal breaks down the Wild's struggles, including a lack of secondary scoring and friendly fire injuries. He also highlights positives like the team's perfect record on coaches' challenges. Toupal suggests potential improvements, such as winning more special teams faceoffs and generating higher-danger scoring chances. 

Will the Wild address their special teams issues and find more offensive support for Kaprizov? Tune in to this Christmas Eve edition of Locked On Wild for a comprehensive look at the team's performance and potential trade targets as the season unfolds.
