The Minnesota Wild will host the Nashville Predators on Saturday after winning 3-2 against the Chicago Blackhawks. This victory marked Minnesota's second consecutive win, with captain Jared Spurgeon scoring twice. The Wild aim to extend their winning streak to three games. Nashville is looking to improve after losing 3-2 in overtime to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Predators coach Andrew Brunette noted the team's struggles with scoring, as they have lost two straight games. Captain Roman Josi emphasized the need for the team to find their offensive rhythm. In goal, the Predators may start Scott Wedgewood instead of Juuse Saros, who played Friday.
