Minnesota Wild head coach Mike Yeo has a tremendous work-ethic, and he's installing the same work-ethic into his team. One of his main goals is to make sure opponents consider the Wild a pain to play against.

Wild head coach Mike Yeo is doing everything he can to help his team become more potent on the offensive end. His latest move puts Cal Clutterbuck on the top line with Dany Heatley and Mikko Koivu. Yeo hopes Clutterbuck's physical play will create space, and ultimately create more goals.

Josh Harding will start in goal Thursday night when the Wild host the Vancouver Canucks. Niklas Backstrom is still the starter, but head coach Mike Yeo wants to stick with the hot hand. Harding is coming off back-to-back wins over the Red Wings.

After finishing the first road trip of the season the Minnesota Wild know they should be off to a better start than 1-1-1. However, growing pains are to be expected with a first year head coach. Those pains could end sooner than later as players are getting used to Mike Yeo's system.

Shortly after the Wild's embarrassing loss to the Vancouver Canucks Thursday, coach Mike Yeo did not mince words when talking about his team's performance. He said many guys on the team aren't playing with urgency.

The Minnesota Wild and Mike Yeo are getting set to host the head coach's former team Tuesday night. Sidney Crosby might not play for the Pittsburgh Penguins, but the game will still be nationally televised on Versus.

Head coach Mike Yeo says Dany Heatley was probably the Wild's MVP this season. He hinted that Heatley would have finished with more than 24 goals if Mikko Koivu didn't miss 27 games. Even without his top linemate out of action, Yeo says Heatley "never once complained."
