Game Preview

Two of the NHL’s hotter teams will renew their divisional rivalry when the Minnesota Wild host the Dallas Stars on Thursday in Saint Paul, Minn.

Dallas leads the Central Division, but the Wild have narrowed the gap to six points after an outstanding stretch of hockey. Minnesota is 11-3-0 in its last 14 games, including both a 6-5 shootout win against the Stars on Dec. 4 and Tuesday’s 4-1 road win over another Central foe in the Winnipeg Jets.

The Wild entered the holiday break on a sour note, as a 5-2 loss to the San Jose Sharks ended Minnesota’s six-game winning streak. However, the Wild got back in the win column on Tuesday with what head coach Dean Evason described as “almost a perfect game for coming off a break.”
