I agree with MNSOTA. It should be a must win game. Hopefully, we will be able to win with a score at least 5:3. Higher score even would be better. We are at this moment a 2nd team after Colorado team in a Western Conference and we are 3rd in NHL by placing the most goals. Also, so far,  I like our defense pairs which we have seen in our last game:

Spurgeon- Goligoski;

Brodin - Kulikov;

Addison- Merrill.

[lynxrattle]

If the Sens have watched the Jets play us, they might win. But that team is such a wreck, that I doubt they have. 6 - 2 Wild win.

From Russo news : " Cam Talbot starts for #mnwild. Nico Sturm will take warmup because there’s a question mark with a forward. Sturm will be scratched if that player can play."

 

In my opinion, probably, this is Bjugstad. Maybe I am wrong, but he needs more time to restore his strength in full after injury.

[ClusterChuck]

Hmmm Fun Fact....After scoring 7 in a game, We're 1-3 in the next one. (We won the next one after scoring the 8 )
Maybe a little full of ourselves tonight at the start but then wake up.
I'll go Wild Win 4-2
 

[Jimtown guy]

May miss this one. Not sure if I’m having  practice tonight or not while we clean up after our 6th blizzard here. I’m a winter guy but this one is wearing on me. 

The Sens can look pretty damn good at times but that is few and far between. I think the Wild will squeeze out a 4-3 win in overtime

6-4 wild ..scrub a dub dub another doub  in da tub 

[MNSOTA]

Looks like a bunch of streaming sites are having issues tonight.
