Winnipeg at Minnesota

Streaky Winnipeg plays its third road game in four contests. They are riding high after a 7-1 blowout of the defending champs, but this team has many flaws at #20 in goals allowed, #22 in penalty killing and #23 on the power play. Goalie Connor Hellebuyck has been good, but they go with backup goaltender Steve Mason tonight, who has been awful at 0-3-1 with a 4.84 goals against average. The Minnesota Wild have turned a corner, getting healthy, winning three of their last four games after topping Pittsburgh at home, 2-1. Minnesota is in the midst of a six-game home stretch. Mikael Granlund skated in the past two games after missing the previous five with a groin injury and Nino Niederreiter will be back in uniform tonight. Minnesota has ace goalie Devan Dubnyk going and Winnipeg is 7-24 against teams scoring 3+ goals per game. Play Minnesota.
