ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (40-27-5) hosts the Washington Capitals (47-15-9) tonight for a 6:30 game. 

The Capitals are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now and are currently sitting on top of the league standings with the best record. They are 8-1-1 in their last ten games as well. 

The Wild are coming off two consecutive losses and are 4-5-1 in their last ten games. These two teams met on Jan 2, earlier this year. The Wild won that game in a shootout 4-3. 

Filip Gustavsson will start in net tonight for the Wild. He is 28-16-4 on the season with a 2.47 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage. 

Minnesota native Charlie Lindgren will start for the Caps. He is 16-11-3 with a 2.63 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. He is expected to have lots of family and friends in the building tonight.
