ST. PAUL --The Wild looks to extend its franchise-record home point streak to 14 games on Thursday as it plays the Metropolitan Division-leading Capitals. There were plenty of familiar faces around Xcel Energy Center during morning skate for Bruce Boudreau, who coached in Washington from 2007-11.
Thursday's game is also Mikko Koivu's 900th in the NHL, all of them with the Wild. Scroll on for a look at photos from a memorable morning skate.
