With the NCHC Frozen Faceoff taking place at Xcel Energy Center, the Wild hit the road for a brief two game road trip, but those games are on back-to-back nights. After their 2-1 huge victory over the first place Metro leading Washington Friday night, the Wild have tons of momentum following their impressive win in Washington. However, things will not get any easier for the Wild as they take on Carolina. This game means a lot already as Minnesota needs points to secure a playoff spot, but the fact that former Wild player Nino Niederreiter plays for the Hurricanes means extra motivation.
