Last Wild game before the trade deadline. Today it is the Blackhawks in town and a must win for the Wild.
They have owned the Chicago all season and today must be more of the same. The Wild are a superior team talent wise and faster as well. No let up as the boys get back to form.
Cam Talbot goes for his 5th straight win and he looked very good against Boston on Wednesday night.
Connor Dewar draws into the lineup today for Nick Bjugstad. Look for Tyson Jost to be more involved and possibly get some PP time or some looks on a scoring line as well.
Marc-Andre Fleury will not get the start as the speculation rises with his trade status heading into Monday's deadline, with the Wild in the mix as a destination for the reigning Vezina trophy winner.
The roster will look different for the Wild come Monday night that is almost a certainty as Bill Guerin works to bolster the playoff chances moving forward....
It's always Hockey Day in The State of Hockey!
