It’s the Minnesota Wild. It’s the Carolina Hurricanes. It’s the Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes playing a hockey game on Saturday night in St. Paul.
When: 7:00 p.m. CT
As mentioned in our preview for this slog, this game is going to be the Wild’s first big test in a while. The Winnipeg Jets will probably take offense to that, but they were in freefall before ending the Minnesota hotness by a score of 2-0. For tonight, the Hurricanes are a team that has been everyone’s favorite and cool pick to lift the Stanley Cup, but now it’s almost a foregone conclusion that they should be aiming for the championship and anything else is a disappointment.
