The Wild have revealed who will start in net against the Washington Capitals tonight.
The Minnesota Wild (23-11-4) are on the road tonight to face the Washington Capitals (25-10-2). They will make a goaltending change tonight.

The future Hall of Fame goaltender is 27-14-3 with a 2.64 GAA, a .912 SV% and four shutouts in 46 career games (45 starts) against Washington in his career.
Washington's Alex Ovechkin is in the lineup tonight for the Capitals. He has two goals in three games since he returned from his lower-body injury. He has 19 goals and 37 points in 23 career games against the Wild.
Ovechkin, 39, is going to go down as one of the best goal scorers in NHL history. He is 25 goals away from breaking the NHL record.
He has faced a lot of goaltenders in his career and has scored on hundreds of different goalies but Ovechkin has scored on Fleury the most, with 27 goals against Fleury in his 20-year career.
