About the Wild • Minnesota (28-19-5) is 8-3-2 in the new year but is coming off a 6-1 loss Saturday in Dallas that matched its most lopsided defeat of the season. The Wild allowed two power-play goals in that contest and have allowed eight power-play goals over their past six games. The Blues scored a season-high three power-play goals in a 6-3 home victory over Minnesota on Nov. 25 and also had a power-play goal in a 2-1 overtime loss a week later at Minnesota.

All-Star Eric Staal leads the Wild with 22 goals, followed by Jason Zucker (21), who has six goals in his past eight games.
