Well, this could be a...WILD ONE. Coming off a pair of rough performances against New Jersey and Boston, the Red Wings take on a Minnesota Wild team that has had some extremely high-scoring games this year. The Wild come into this game as the fifth-highest-scoring team in the NHL. However, they have the fourth-highest goals-against average as well. They had a three-game stretch to start the season where they allowed 20 goals.
The Wild have bounced back defensively the last couple of games, allowing just one goal and two goals in their last two games respectively. However, those games were with starter Marc-Andre Fleury in the net.
