On today's episode of Locked on Wild, Zach Zeman joins as we recap the month of December, which saw the Wild win 9 games. We hand out the Locked on Wild Player of the Month to Kirill Kaprizov, who got his game back on track despite being injured at the end of the month against Winnipeg. We give honorable mentions to Matt Boldy and Filip Gustavsson. We move to the January schedule, with critical divisional games against the Stars and Predators, as well as a big Friday matchup with Arizona. Seth and Zach discuss predictions for each game, which are as follows:

Flames - W

Lightning - L

@ Blue Jackets - W

Stars - L

@ Stars - L

Flyers - L

Coyotes - W

Islanders - W

@ Lightning - L

@ Panthers - L

@ Hurricanes - W

Capitals - W

Predators - W

Ducks - W

For an official prediction of 8-6. But with key pieces out of the lineup, anything around .500 would be a major accomplishment. We also throw out predictions for Player of the Month for January, with Zach picking Marcus Johansson and Seth picking Marc-Andre Fleury.
