Randy Carlyle may have had a decent season in his first season back with the Ducks after Anaheim GM axed Bruce Boudreau. But Carlyle's not-so-mighty Ducks squad has been reeling hard this season with zero positivity in sight. So while Boudreau is going to want to beat the team that fired him, perhaps unfairly, especially while they're down, the Wild aren't in the position to gloat.

Sitting at 5th place in the Central Division, the Wild are far away from the team in late October that climbed to 2nd place in the Central, not to mention top three in the West.
