Tonight, the Minnesota Wild kick off a seven-game homestand, beginning with three games in four days vs. the St. Louis Blues. It will likely be filled with storylines given that the teams have faced each other only three times so far, but have two playoff series in the past six playoffs. On top of that, any teams that play each other three times in four days are going to flirt with playoff-intensity distaste for each other, let alone two teams that have traded opportunities to squash the other’s Stanley Cup dreams so recently.
