Finally back on the ice, the Minnesota Wild now can work on syncing up all parts of their game when they pay a visit to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday.
The Wild completed a two-week COVID-19 related pause when they faced the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday and absorbed a 4-0 defeat. They looked slow early, as expected, and then failed to capitalize late.
Thursday's game between the Wild and Ducks will be the first of consecutive games between the teams, with the second contest set for Saturday.
The Ducks continue to work on consistency issues, going 3-2-1 since the start of February.
