Lose Sturm and Seider

It is the third longest series in the club's history: only ice hockey legend Wayne Gretzky was successful at the start of the season in 1983/84 (51 games) and 1982/83 (30 games).
Meanwhile, Nico Sturm missed out on Minnesota Wild's 4-5 defeat at the Florida Panthers, as did young star Moritz Seider when they lost 2-1 after extra time with the Detroit Red Wings at the Arizona Coyotes.
