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.

• 17: Nino Niederreiter
• 16: Jason Zucker, Mikko Koivu, Eric Staal
• 15: Mikael Granlund

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.
