Following the ugly 3rd period that occurred last night (Thursday) in Calgary, the Wild will have limited time to re-group and find themselves. And they will most likely have to find themselves without Mikko Koivu, after he left the game in the 3rd after taking a knee-on-knee hi t from Mark Giordano. As for the team as a whole, another loss resulted in Minnesota dropping to 9th in the Western Conference, as the wheels continue to turn.
As for their opponent tonight, the Edmonton Oilers have won 4 of their last 5 games, including a 3-2 shoot-out victory Wednesday night over St.
