It's been a controversial two-day break for the Minnesota Wild, who head into Sunday afternoon's game with the Montreal Canadiens at Saint Paul, Minn., with just one victory and two points, fewest in the NHL.

Frustration boiled over after the Wild's latest loss, a 4-0 blanking by the Canadiens in Montreal on Thursday night that saw Minnesota allow three first-period goals in less than six minutes. The team held a 10-minute players-only meeting afterward, and forward Jason Zucker didn't hold back.

"I think more than [a meeting is] going to have to jumpstart us to be honest with you," Zucker told reporters. "It's going to be each individual from Bruce on down. Bruce has got to be better. We've got to be better. Everybody's got to be better. That's it."
