The Minnesota Wild and Edmonton Oilers are set to face-off for the second time this season, and for the second time this season, they square up north of the border in Edmonton.
The Wild have lost two in a row and three of their last five heading into this matchup against the Oilers. They've allowed 12 goals over a total of six games to the Winnipeg Jets and the Florida Panthers. The defense and goaltending haven't been good enough to muster out wins against a Central Division rival and a Stanley Cup contender.
