Questions to Answer

  1. A solid game last night turned into a bad loss in the third period. Will the Wild get a turnaround, or slide from that emotional loss?
    With Alex Ovechkin out, can the Wild succeed in slowing the rest of the Washington offense?
  2. Josh Harding hasn't started since losing on October 16 in Edmonton. Will he show signs of rust?
  3. Will the Boogaard - Sheppard - Pouliot line show great energy and create scoring chances again tonight?
    Can Owen Nolan keep up his excellent play of the last few games? The squad needs him to keep at it.
