Game Preview

The Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues both will look to regain their defensive edge when they meet in St. Paul, Minn., on Sunday night.

The Wild lost 6-5 in overtime at Buffalo on Saturday night while the Blues fell 5-4 at Montreal.

"We scored some goals, but we certainly can’t play that way defensively and expect to win games," Wild coach Dean Evason said.
