Here is everything you need to know before puck drop.
ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (19-6-4) are in action for a 1:00 p.m. game against the Philadelphia Flyers (14-12-4) on home ice. It is the first of a back-to-back for the Wild who welcome the Vegas Golden Knights to town on Sunday.
The Wild are coming off a loss and are 6-3-1 in their last ten games. The Flyers have won two straight games and are 6-2-2 in their last ten games.
Good news for Minnesota though. They have activated both Mats Zuccarello and Jonas Brodin and both of them are expected to play today for the Wild.
Zuccarello had missed the last 13 games with a lower-body injury. He has now been activated off the LTIR and will play today.
Brodin missed the last eight games with an upper-body injury but has been activated off the Injured Reserve and will play today.
Marc-Andre Fleury will start for Minnesota and Filip Gustavsson will get Sunday's game.
