Wild on pace to smash team goals record thanks to balanced attack

Minnesota's offense is running wild.

With a pair of goals against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Jason Pominville became the tenth Wild player to hit a double-digit goal total this season. Only the high-powered Washington Capitals can boast such offensive depth so far this year.

Minnesota a top-four team in terms of goals scored this season, and yet don't have one player who's running away with the lead.

• 17: Nino Niederreiter
• 16: Jason Zucker, Mikko Koivu, Eric Staal
• 15: Mikael Granlund
• 13: Charlie Coyle
• 11: Chris Stewart
• 10: Erik Haula, Zach Parise, Jason Pominville

As a result of these contributions and single-digit goal totals recorded by others on the roster, Minnesota is on pace to set a new single-season goals record, and by a wide margin.

By averaging 3.35 goals per game in Bruce Boudreau's first season behind the bench, Minnesota is on pace for approximately 275 in 82 games.

That Minnesota is one of the NHL's best teams in terms of fewest goals allowed bodes well for success when it matter most: the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
