ST. PAUL -- The Minnesota Wild will try and continue its season-long winning streak on Tuesday when it hosts the Florida Panthers at Xcel Energy Center.

The game marks the first meeting of the season between the teams.

Even when Minnesota hasn't been winning, it has been getting points. The Wild has at least one point in nine of its past 10 games and has climbed to within two points of the Blues for second place in the Central Division.

Florida will be starting a three-in-four-nights stretch of games on the road against Central opponents. After playing in Minnesota, the Panthers will head to Winnipeg for a game against the Jets on Thursday before concluding the trip Friday in Colorado versus the Avalanche.

The Panthers are winless against the Central Division this season, losing in regulation to the Avalanche in October and dropping a 2-1 game to Chicago late last month.

Panthers forward Jaromir Jagr, who has six goals and nine assists this season at the age of 44, is just four points shy of Hall of Famer Mark Messier for second on the NHL's all-time points list (1,887).

Jagr has been playing well of late, scoring five goals and adding four assists in his past 12 games.

Go Wild! ​

The guy with 34 points in 67 games last season? And 0 points in 10 games this season?

Greed is good.

I think Bjugstad has a bad back, and injuries will prevent him ever being the player he was projected to be( a good 2C). Buyer beware. He just can't stay on the ice, and for all his size, is not a very physical player.

 

[57special]

I'm a big time Prosser "hater", but didn't he just play his two best games ever? Weird timing, for me.

 

[DANOZ28]

ever heard the expression buy low sell high? i like bjugstad oh well.

But would we be buying low? Some guys are just brittle and can't stay healthy. His back and concussion problems are worrying.

What would we do, send them a Dman, then put him in at 3C, sending Haula back to 4C? With Staal, Koivu, and Haula playing decently or better, and Ek and Kunin coming in the next couple of years, a Bjugstad is not really a need.

But Folin was also rock solid before his injury. It was tough decision i'm sure as Stevens seemed to like Prosser too.

5 in a row would be prettay, prettay, prettaaaay, prettay good.

I'm conflicted. I want to hate, but can't justify it right now.

[123TripleDoge]

[Wabit]

To Florida: Prosser
To Minnesota: Bjugstad

I'll 1 up ya:

To FLA: Prosser
To MN: Jagr- he hasn't played here yet, maybe it's on his bucket list?

 

[Jacques The Mayor]

I'll be missing the first half due to a damn boot hockey game. Maybe the other team won't show up cuz it's freezing and I'll get to catch the game at the bar.

Anybody feel like subbing for me? It's going to be a whopping 2 degrees.

 

[Wabit]

Pokemon got called up today. In case Stewie can't play I guess?

1.) Holy 90s with the Ben Stiller Zoolander cameo.

2.) Wes Borland is awesome.

^ memories of NHL Hitz....

 

[Drewcifer]

If Bjugstad wasn't a former Gopher nobody would care about having him on the team. He is very mediocre right now.
