    Wild clash with Predators as familiar faces return. Unchanged lineup faces an uphill battle on special jersey night.

    ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild (4-6-3) host the Nashville Predators (5-6-3) to wrap up this six game home stand. 

    The Wild finally snapped their five-game losing streak with a 5-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday. The Canucks just beat the Predators last night in overtime.

    Wild head coach John Hynes said this morning that there won't be any changes to the lineup. So rookie Danila Yurov is expected to be a healthy scratch yet again.

    The Wild are 1-2-2 in their last five games and the Predators are 1-3-1. Former Wild players and coaches Darby Hendrickson and Andrew Brunette return to Minnesota tonight. Brunette is Nashville's head coach and Hendrickson as an assistant.

    How fitting, the Wild will be wearing their 25th university tonight, by wearing the white jerseys.
