ANAHEIM, Calif -- With the temperature in the Twin Cities plummeting into the single digits and the Minnesota Wild mired in a four-game losing skid, it's a pretty good time for the team to embark on a three-game tour of California. And back-to-back contests in Anaheim and Los Angeles provide a special homecoming for Jarret Stoll, especially considering how the past few months have been for one of the Wild's latest additions.
"Seeing the palm trees and the nice clean roads and clean vehicles driving around. It's familiar surroundings, for sure," Stoll said. "I'm looking forward to coming back, playing my old team and some old buddies I still have.
