The Wild are back home tonight following a seven game road trip.
ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (6-1-2) are back in action tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning (7-3-0) after seven straight road games.
Ryan Hartman will return tonight after missing the last five games with an upper-body injury. With how well the Wild's third line has been playing, Hartman will play on the fourth line tonight.
Filip Gustavsson will start tonight for the Wild. He last started in Philadelphia against the Flyers. Gustavsson let up six goals that game on 28 shots.
He will look to rebound tonight against a Lightning team that has won three straight since the Wild beat them.
