Command Analysis
Minnesota strive to secure a spot in the top eight. Currently, they are in 8th place in the Western Conference standings. The team is inconsistent and haven't won more than two games in a row in quite a long time. After the All-Stars break, the Wild lost to Arizona (2:3) and got crushed by Dallas (1:4). Minnesota have seven straight home games ahead of them, and they will hope to capitalize on their home advantage. Dean Evason's men lost only eight home games in regulation this season.
Vegas were the leaders in the Western Conference for almost a half of the regular season, but they have now dropped to 3rd. In the last nine games, the VGK suffered seven defeats. After the break, they managed to get a confidence-boosting victory over Nashville (5:1). Mark Stone is greatly missed, but he won't be able to help his team any time soon.
