Preview: Wild take on Blackhawks ahead of the trade deadline

If Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin is still on the fence as to whether or not he needs to make a move prior to the NHL’s trade deadline on Monday, he’s got one more opportunity to get a good look at the team he’s got as the Chicago Blackhawks come to town on Saturday afternoon.

When: 1:00 p.m. CT

Guerin’s only pre-deadline move so far, dealing Nico Sturm to the Colorado Avalanche for Tyson Jost, didn’t have a direct impact on the Wild’s 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins last Wednesday, but it’s clear that the move may have woken up the roster as Minnesota came out strong against a hot team that had won 10 of their prior 12 contests.
