Minnesota Wild News & Notes:

Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin should return to the lineup tonight per head coach John Hynes. Minnesota has lost two of their last three games and scored only one goal in each of their losses. The Wild took the earlier meeting between these two teams, a 4-1 victory in St Louis.

St. Louis Blues News & Notes:

St Louis has lost four of their last five games and has been outscored 21-10 over that span. On a positive note, Robert Thomas has begun skating and joined the team on their recent road trip which is a sign the forward should be back in the lineup sooner rather than later.
