The Minnesota Wild are in need of a win after being humiliated in Colorado, losing both games to the the Avs by a combined score of 11-1, but they return home tonight and are in luck. The hapless Anaheim Ducks come to town. The Ducks are a far cry from the Perry/Getzlaf days and find themselves dead last in the West. Anaheim is a dismal 4-6-2-1 on the road and have gone 3-11-3 in their last 17 with all 3 wins coming in overtime. Not good. The Wild, who sit in the third spot in the West, have been nothing but stellar at Xcel Energy Center, where they are 10-3-0. Minnesota has won 3 straight against Anaheim this year, all at Honda Center, and should cruise to a victory tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD
