Here is everything you need to know before puck drop.
The Minnesota Wild (27-12-4) are back in action tonight after their 3-1 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. They face the Vegas Golden Knights (28-11-3) tonight before hosting the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday.
Vegas is coming off a loss to the New York Rangers last night. They are 7-3-0 in its last ten games. The Wild are coming off a win and are also 7-3-0 in their last ten.
These two teams met earlier this year back in Minnesota. The Golden Knights won that game 3-2 with two goals from Victor Olofsson.
