OPPOSITION UPDATE
After a sluggish start to the season, the Wild have turned it on and are three points out of a wild card spot with 37 points in 34 games. They've won seven of their last 10 games, but fell in their most recent matchup with Chicago, 5-3.
Eric Staal leads the Wild in scoring through 34 games with 26 points (12G, 14A). Jason Zucker sits two points back of Staal with 24 points (12G, 12A) while Ryan Suter rounds out their 20-points scorers with 22 points (3G, 19A).
KEYS TO THE GAME
Depth on Display: Each player on Vegas' top-three lines collected at least one point on Sunday against the Canucks. Showing off the depth only helps the team on the scoreboard each night.
Neutral Zone Speed: Minnesota is a tactical team that doesn't give other teams much ice to work with when the game moves at their pace. If Vegas can dictate the pace using their speed, especially in the neutral zone, the Wild will have to chase the Golden Knights around the ice.
