Here's everything you need to know before tonight's matchup. ST. PAUL - The Wild are set to host the New York Islanders tonight before heading on a three-game road trip. Despite losing four straight, the Wild will get Jonas Brodin back in the lineup tonight after activating him off LTIR. The Wild are 2-7-1 in their last ten games but will get Brodin back in the lineup after missing 17 straight games with an upper-body injury. Adding Brodin to the backend will help the Wild a lot but after their 6-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday, Minnesota will make even more changes. Marco Rossi who centered Pat Maroon and Marcus Foligno last game, will now center Mats Zuccarello and Kirill Kaprizov tonight. Along with Brodin, Daemon Hunt will also enter the lineup and likely play with Dakota Mermis. Alex Goligoski and Jon Merrill will both be healthy scratches tonight. After starting the last game and allowing five goals, Filip Gustavsson will be tonight's backup, meaning Marc-Andre Fleury will start in hopes of this being the game that Fleury passes Patrick Roy for second all-time in wins.
