The suddenly-surging Minnesota Wild host the Anaheim Ducks at the Xcel Energy Center Tuesday night. Minnesota jumped into first place in the Northwest Division by beating Vancouver on Sunday.
The Ducks own the second best record in the NHL. At 18-3-3 they’ve already defeated the Wild twice this season, but this marks their first trip to St. Paul, where the Wild are an impressive 9-2-1.
Anaheim is winless in its last three road games. They allowed five goals in each game.
