Completely agree. Not an easy game will be against the Islanders. Parise and Clutterbuck  ,probably, are going to play their best against the former team as well as MN native Nelson. A high scoring team Jets was not able to place any goals yesterday (0:2) in Sorokin's net. His stats are very solid. Varlamov didn't play yet and maybe will be in tonight. Wish to see Talbot against him this game. Still I would like to predict our win with a score 3:2 in OT in front of our home fans.

[Icechipper]

A win is a win the way they count them so unless he's hurt or exhausted, you keep riding Talbot. I'm old school on goalies in that regard.

Will tonight's game be deemed 'Zach's Revenge' 
I'll bet he scores 1 goal.

Speaking of goals...We have scored 1st in a game. Kap got his 1st goal. We actually won a shootout...
So how about we get our first win by 2+ goals.
Sincerely, My heart.

That would be a pleasant dream to get our first win by 2+ goals.

Actually, in a last game, I think, Kaprizov had a couple NHL 1st goals in his career. 1st goal of the game in regulation and a 1st NHL shootout goal, which was beautiful.

Let's place your score prediction for this game. And maybe some other fans will predict the most accurate score for this game?

Matt Martin -- Casey Cizikas -- Cal Clutterbuck = The talking heads say this is the best 4th line in hockey

see how our 4th line  compares

[Icechipper]

Did the Islanders teach Clutterbuck to stop, using his edges, not the dasher boards?

 

[lynxrattle]

Beckman and Dewar reassigned. I think we'll lose this one. If Talbot is in the net by a score of 4 - 2. If Kahkonen, by a score of 5 - 1.

[wildstars95]

talbot (sieve) 4-2 islanders

kahkonen(shellshock) 3-2 wild

I know, That's why i think he'll get one.

[ClusterChuck]

If NHL66 decides to put this game on it's list and not the Pitts game, I predict a 5-3 Wild win.

 YAWWWWN.  11 Returns to MN.  Does anyone really miss this player?!?

[EmptyShelf]

Nope...I knew you'd be on time and ready for this game.
Can't wait for the Dallas game.

[ClusterChuck]

Oh Yay...Walz for a 3rd straight game.

[EmptyShelf]

Dear God.  LaPants and LaPeacock are lathering up the return of Hack Parise as the major story line of the game.  The guy is like an old jock - past its functional value and past the time to toss out with your nose plugged.

I have a new name for #11...How about League Minimum (after soaking the Wild for years)?  Too cruel?!?

I've tried to synch it with NHL66...Just off most the time.

[wildstars95]

this game has the same feel as the Seattle game ...without the 7-up slurpee/slush ice
