The Blackhawks travel to Minnesota looking for their first win of the season against the Wild. The Saturday matinee will be the fourth and final meeting between these two Central Division teams this season.
While the Wild are currently sitting in the third playoff position in the Central division, they’ll be looking to widen the gap between them and the Nashville Predators who have the same amount of points (74) in two more games. If the other games this season are anything to go by, it shouldn’t be difficult to imagine a win is possible: the Wild have outscored the Blackhawks 14 to 4 in three games, and have been the better team in score-adjusted shot numbers in two of the three outings.
