They have shown through nine games that the team is far from snake-bitten. Scoring 2.9 goals per game isn’t elite goalscoring numbers by any means; however, it’s how they are being scored.   It’s all been done at 5-on-5.   The Wild is a stron...9571Wed, 03 Feb 2021 10:30:07 +0000https://wolvesdaily.com/news-rumors/front-page/kayla-mcbride-is-ready-to-take-another-step-with-lynx/This offseason was going to be a unique one for Kayla McBride.
