Not much has changed with the Minnesota Wild roster as they get set to start their season. The biggest difference is the man now in charge on the bench, Bruce Boudreau, who's been tasked with squeezing more success out of a team that's been stuck in the early rounds of the playoffs for the last four years.

Bruce Boudreau's teams have been remarkably consistent and successful over nearly a decade on the bench in the NHL. They've also had a history of early exits from the playoffs, which is why the 61-year-old coach became available to the Minnesota Wild.

On the brink of elimination the Minnesota Wild find a way to get the job done and stay alive in the playoffs. The team now trails 3-2 in the series after picking up the 5-4 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars last (Friday) night.
