Gamethread: Wild at Blackhawks

After losing their last two games against the Chicago Blackhawks, the Minnesota Wild will try to pull farther ahead of their Central Division rival in the standings as they continue to push forward towards the 2017 NHL Playoffs. Bruce Boudreau liked what he saw from the forward lines on Friday, so we're likely to see the same lineup start against the Blackhawks.
