Both Wild goalies, Miles Minor and Kadin Kilpatrick, are among the league leaders. Minor is second in GAA and third in both save percentage and wins. Kilpatrick is third in the league for GAA.
The Northstars (3-33-0-0-1) are still in the league's basement, 11 points back of the Interlake Lightning. The Pas, MB native Hunter Rambow leads the Northstars with 29 points in 36 games, while Flin Flon, MB native Mitchell Reid continues to lead the NorMan squad with 15 goals.
