Game Preview
The visiting Minnesota Wild and Pittsburgh Penguins will both be pushing toward clinching something when they meet Thursday.
Minnesota (44-23-10, 98 points) secured a playoff spot this week but is still in a tight race for the Central Division title. The Wild, Colorado and Dallas each sit at 98 points, although the Avalanche have a game in hand on the other two, and the Stars hold the tiebreaker over Minnesota.
Because the Wild don’t control their own destiny, coach Dean Evason is asking his club to take a shorter view.
