Game preview: Minnesota rivalry, Retro Night, Lehtonen home start; lots to digest for Stars vs. Wild

7 p.m. today (FSSW-Plus/1310AM The Ticket-96.7FM)

Storyline

This is a good ol' fashioned rivalry game with a ton of meaning. The Stars moved from Minnesota in 1993, they are celebrating that team on Retro Night, and they are playing the Wild, who sit one point behind in the standings. Lose this one in regulation, and the Wild surge ahead of you into fourth place in the Central Division. This should be fun.

Key match-up

Charlie Coyle vs. Alexander Radulov

Coyle had two assists in a 4-2 Minnesota win over Dallas Dec. 27 and has scored goals in consecutive games for the Wild.
