Chicago at Minnesota

There is no urgency for Chicago to win tonight, up 3-0. But there is plenty on the home team to stay alive. Minnesota is home and a talented all-around team at #12 in the NHL in goals scored, #6 in goals allowed, and #1 in penalty killing. The Wild badly wanted to prove this was the year it could knock off the mighty Blackhawks. Minnesota still has its red-hot ace goaltender in Devan Dubnyk along with a wild home crowd tonight. Minnesota is 20-6 after scoring 2 goals or fewer in their previous game and when these teams clash the home team is 20-8. Back Minnesota in game four.
