After a loss on Tuesday night in Nashville that saw the Minnesota Wild’s 10-game point streak come to an end, Minnesota looked to rebound against fellow Central Division foe St. Louis Blues. The Blues came into Friday night hot, winning three in a row and only giving up two goals in their last two games. With the third best powerplay in the league, and with Minnesota’s penalty kill having a horrible showing Tuesday night, St. Louis was likely licking their chops and aiming to draw as many powerplays as possible. To win, Minnesota would need to have a better start than they did Tuesday night, find a way to get the puck in the back of the net, and not let their emotions pave a way to the penalty box.
