As one of the newer franchises in the NHL, the Minnesota Wild played their first game in the league at the start of the 2000-2001 season. The Wild missed the postseason in their first two seasons, but qualified for the playoffs in year 3 and advanced all the way to the conference finals before falling to the Anaheim Ducks in four games. Minnesota has made the playoffs four times over the years with the highlight coming during the 2007-2008 season when they won their first and only division title. The Wild won 44 games that season led by Marian Gaborik. The right winger finished the season with 83 points including 42 goals. Gaborik is also the franchise leader in goals and points while current Wild center Mikko Koivu leads the organization in assists.
