The Minnesota Wild (34-14-10) enter the Olympic break on a roll. Minnesota has won five consecutive games and is 8-1-1 in its last ten games.

Only the Colorado Avalanche have more points this season than the Wild. Minnesota is five points behind the Avalanche. 

Not only is it the Olympic break but the NHL has placed a roster freeze.

The Wild are able to send players down to the American Hockey League if they please but they can not make any trades.

There had been some rumblings about the Wild but no trade was made and no trades can be made until Feb, 22.
