Good day from Xcel Energy Center, where the Wild will partake in a rare Friday home game tonight against the New Jersey Devils.
Just how rare have Friday games in St. Paul been? Tonight's contest is just the second one played all season and the first since the Wild played the Winnipeg Jets on Black Friday, a game the Wild won 4-2.
The game tonight will be the final Friday home game this season, so there's that. Minnesota will, however, play on the road several times over the course of the rest of the season. Next week, the team will be in Detroit.
