To the Land of 10,000 Lakes we go! To the spiritual home of American hockey. With the opportunity to win 2 games in a row for the first time in a month (coincidentally started when they shut out the Wild 3-0 in Minnesota). Plus, mallards like lakes. Well, maybe not necessarily when it's 15 degrees at puck drop in St. Paul, but you get the idea.
Anyway, because the Western Conference is so horrendous, this is actually a big 4 pointer for playoff positioning. Minnesota is struggling; 2-5-3 in their last 10 and have lost Matt Dumba and Mikko Koivu to season-ending knee injuries, but since no one wants the 8-seed, they remain in the final wild-card spot with 60 points. Win in regulation and the Ducks are 3 back, lose in regulation and they're 7 back.
From what I've seen around the interwebs, the Ducks look to be icing the same lineup as Sunday night. Sprong a healthy scratch, Miller in goal.
LET'S GO DUCKS!
