This article was published 20/10/2017 (2884 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.

Minnesota (1-1-2) finally gets in a game after five days off since the Central Division club last performed.

The Wild lost 5-4 in overtime last Saturday in its home opener to visiting Columbus. LW Tyler Ennis fired a pair of goals for Minnesota, while C Landon Ferraro, son of former NHL star Ray Ferraro, scored his first goal in a Wild jersey.

Injuries have plagued the Wild early in the NHL season. LW Zach Parise (undisclosed) has yet to play, RW Mikael Granlund (groin) has missed the past three games, while LW Marcus Foligno (facial fracture), C Charlie Coyle (fibula fracture) and RW Nino Niederreiter RW (ankle sprain) have all missed one game.

Recent call-ups Ferraro, Luke Kunin and Zack Mitchell are likely to play up front tonight for the visitors.

RW Chris Stewart has registered at least one point in each Wild game this season, leading the club with four goals and six points in four games. C Eric Staal has scored a goal in three straight games. G Devan Dubnyk is 1-1-1 in three starts this season, with a 3.17 goals-against average and .894 save percentage. He earned the 100th victory of his time with the Wild last Thursday in Chicago.
