The Minnesota Wild look to extend their nine game point streak tonight against division rivals, the Nashville Predators. However, Minnesota hasn’t played its best games against Nashville this season: the Wild have three losses in as many tries against the Preds this season and have been outscored 17-6.
They seem to lose their identity a bit when they play against the Predators – winning tonight would hopefully instill some much needed confidence the team needs against a specific other division rival: the St Louis Blues. Minnesota will be playing against the Blues in the playoffs and are currently fighting for home ice.
