Detroit Red Wings News & Notes:
The Red Wings are 13-10-3 on the road this season as they travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild after just losing to them 4-3 in overtime on Saturday. This is the second and final meeting between the two clubs this season. After an 8-1-1 stretch in their last ten games, the Red Wings sit in the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Minnesota Wild News & Notes:
The Wild are a mediocre 13-12-1 at home and are 6-4-0 in their last ten games. Minnesota does have a modest two-game winning streak at home as they try to improve their play at the Xcel Energy Center as they prepare for the playoffs. The Wild are 14-5-2 in games they score one or more powerplay goals. That could be a key for Minnesota down the stretch as they sport the NHL’s 24th-ranked powerplay.
