If you were to pick one NHL team against which you would want the Wild to play when it’s struggling to find its first win of the season, which team would it be? The Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center, right? Ok, perfect! That’s just what Minnesota gets tonight, a chance to take on its divisional rivals on the road, without two key players, and at a time when the Blackhawks have been averaging 5.25 goals for per game and 2 goals against per game. The ’Hawks are 3-0-1 through four games, and Minnesota is 0-1-1.
Looking for its first win, the Wild faces an uphill battle in Chicago without Granlund
