Minnesota has hit the skids offensively losing three straight while scoring only five goals, including 3-1 to Calgary on Tuesday. The Wild wasted a good effort by Marc-Andre Fleury, who stopped 30 of 32 shots and he is likely tonight as Filip Gustavsson is out with a lower-body injury. Fleury is 6-7-2 with a 3.09 goals-against average this season. Tampa Bay has won four of seven and looks to bounce back from a 4-2 loss at Winnipeg. Andrei Vasilevskiy is expected in net for the Lightning and he has a 2.94 GAA this season. The Wild has several key injuries in addition to Gustavsson, including top scorer Karill Kaprizov. Make it a Max Play on the Lightning.
