Coach Bruce Boudreau and Minnesota are seeking back-to-back wins, and will play a team the former Anaheim Ducks coach is very familiar with. "[I have] mostly bad [memories]," Boudreau said of playing against the Kings. "Regular season was good, but I keep thinking of [Stanley Cup Playoffs] Game 6 and 7… [It's] always a hard game to play. Always a very heavy team. They play with great pace and they work their butt off." The Kings have a physical presence that the Wild will have to counter. "We've got to meet their push in the first," forward Erik Haula said. "We've got to come to the game ready to play and play a solid 60 minutes."
