Loons left chasing the low bar of the playoff line
Minnesota's 4-2 loss at St. Louis on Saturday was, in a lot of ways, expected. St. Louis is on a historic undefeated run - only one team in league history has had a longer in-season streak without losing - and the Loons are mired in the doldrums. That's three losses in a row, now. They've got one win, in ten games, since the World Cup. They've got seven points, total, in those ten games since the World Cup.
They are one point out of the playoffs.
