The Blueshirts are back in action after a pair of days away from the rink. Tonight’s affair will be an interconference matchup against Mats Zuccarello, Calen Addison, and the rest of the Minnesota Wild. Following their overtime loss against the Devils on Saturday afternoon, the Blueshirts three game winning streak came to an end. However, Gerard Gallant’s squad is still in the midst of a five game point streak at 3-0-2, and they’d like to keep that going with two points tonight.
The Wild find themselves in a familiar position in their playoff race. Minnesota currently sits in third place in the Central Division with a four point lead over Colorado, but are seven points back of Dallas for the division lead.
