Centers Matthew Lombardi and Peter Mueller are questionable due to lower-body injuries.In games since being named Wild captain, Koivu has 3 goals and 13 points. Coyotes forward Scottie Upshall has 2 goals in his last five games, but that number could rise against the Wild in seven games against Minnesota, he has 7 points.
The Wild haven’t lost to the Coyotes in Minnesota since Nov. 8, 2005, a span of seven games…. How can the Coyotes be 24th in the League in scoring at 2.45 goals per game but have a winning record? The fact that they’re sixth in goals-allowed, also at 2.45 goals per game, is a big reason.
First goal wins? The Wild and Coyotes are among the lowest-scoring teams in the League, but both feature outstanding goaltending. We will post information about results of this match..
