Chicago Blackhawks at Minnesota Wild 7PM Central CSN Chicago, Fox Sports North
THE BUZZ
The Wild are going for a season sweep versus the Blackhawks. And as they are a very likely playoff opponent, this game takes on great significance. It also puts any positives derived from the Hawks last two games (both road wins versus Calgary and Vancouver) into a more balanced, realistic perspective.
It's a good test for a Hawk club that looked ready to mail it in for the season a week or so ago.
