Vladimir Tarasenko's potential resurgence with the Minnesota Wild takes center stage. Can he rediscover his scoring touch after a disappointing stint in Detroit? The Wild's second line of Tarasenko, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Liam Ohgren could be a game-changer.

Host Seth Toupal breaks down Tarasenko's struggles last season, analyzing shot attempts, shooting percentages, and line combinations. He explores how Eriksson Ek's net-front presence and Ohgren's developing game might complement Tarasenko's perimeter play.

The Wild's new second line is compared to other Central Division teams, with Dallas and Winnipeg boasting impressive trios on paper. Topal also touches on the Wild's 25th anniversary jerseys and injury updates around the league.

Will Tarasenko bounce back? Can Eriksson Ek stay healthy? Is Ohgren ready for a breakout? Get the full analysis on this crucial Wild lineup in this must-listen episode.
