Gamethread: Wild vs. Kings (7:00 p.m.) – Minnesota Wild Game Threads

The visiting Los Angeles Kings have certainly won a whole lot, but is tonight against the Minnesota Wild, their tipping point? A team can only go for so long with a goaltending tandem of David Rittich and Darcy Kuemper, and their lineup appears to somewhat be in flux. 

The Wild should come at them hard and fast and maybe catch them on their back heels. Or, it could just be a gridlock in the neutral zone as two somewhat similar teams upfront collide.

When: 7:00 p.m. CT
Where: Xcel Energy Center
TV: Bally Sports North, ESPN+
