The majority of the opening night roster is back as Iowa heads to Milwaukee (Nashville) on a quick trip before returning home for two more games this weekend. The stretch, including travel, will be the Wild’s second weekend playing back-to-back-to-back games - the last time around they went 1-0-2.
In this being the back half of the 2017-18 season, there’s little room for poor stretches, especially with just four points separating spots two through six in the Central Division. The Manitoba Moose, miles ahead of the rest of the division with their 51 points, will be visiting Wells Fargo tomorrow night, making these two points all the more important for Derek Lalonde’s crew.
