:wild:WILD (33-25-6) at :rangers:RANGERS (33-28-4)
TV -- FS-North (HD), MSG (HD)
Last 10 -- Minnesota 4-5-1; New York 4-6-0.
Season series -- This is the second and final meeting between the teams. The Rangers cruised to a 5-2 victory against the Wild on Nov. 20 at the Xcel Energy Center.
Big story -- It's the second game in as many nights in the Empire State for the Wild, and they're hoping for a much better result than what transpired on Long Island on Wednesday night. Desperately needing points to stay in the heated playoff race in the Western Conference, the Wild were no-shows in a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. "Obviously, we haven't been good the last couple of games," center Kyle Brodziak said, referring also to Monday's 4-2 home loss to Chicago. "We definitely need more desperation. We're fighting for our playoff lives here."
Two defensive style powerhouses gear up for a battle of attrition.
Gabby is out and will not be able to pay his former team a visit. But the wild are without their top player (Koivu).
Theodore vs Lundqvist
3-1 win for the rags with an EN goal to seal it?
