Questions to Answer

  1. The trend of backups playing against the Wild seems to have begun, with Alex Auld getting the start over Marty Turco. Can the Wild take advantage of this?
  2. Will Michael Russo's ripping of Brent Burns have a positive effect on Burns' performance?
  3. Can Kyle Brodziak continue his solid play of the past few games?
  4. Will Owen Nolan break out and start scoring down low again?
  5. With leading scorer James Neal out injured, can the Wild keep the Stars offense in check?
