  2. Can the Wild get to Patrick Lalime?
  3. Will Guillaume Latendresse be able to go full-speed tonight, or will he show signs of the injury last night?
  4. Did the Wild even get tired enough last night to have an effect tonight?
  5. Should the Wild just go ahead and put Niklas Backstrom to pasture for the rest of the season?

Same as last year

Remember last year when Owen Nolan had a fight with Steve Montador of the Ducks? Rematch tonight with Montador, now a member of the Sabres. But same result that last year, NOLAN WIN with some great punches!
