Okay, there's still a long time to go until the puck-drop, but I'm really excited about this match-up. The Wild need a win to keep a stranglehold on the top of the division, and also to make up for that 5-2 defeat at home (which still stings).

I think they have a great chance, especially with Taylor-Hall's injury, but to win they will need to make sure that they prevent Edmonton from using their strongest asset: the Power-Play. So to do this, in my opinion, Brad Staubitz should be scratched (because of all the penalty minutes he racked up last time out against the Oil), and someone else, possibly Colton Gillies brought in to take his place.

Your thoughts on this?

(Let's hope for a strong start to the road-trip!)
