The Wild return home following their 1-1-0 road trip to host the Kings tonight at the XCEL Energy Center.

Kevin Fiala is back in Minnesota to face his old mates and this time he has another of his former Wild teammates in goal, as Cam Talbot is now the new starter in LA.

Sammy Walker has been recalled to fill the void left by Matt Boldy's injury

Alex Goligoski is now on LTIR with a lower body injury and Dakota Mermis is in the lineup in his place.

The Kings are coming off their first win, a 5-1 victory in Winnipeg on Tuesday night.

The Wild got the special teams revved up in Montreal with 3 powerplay goals and two shorthanded markers in the same Canadiens powerplay, Tuesday night.That gives the Wild four man advantage goals in the first three games on 13 opportunities. The PK is looking good as the only two powerplay goals they have given up came in the game at Toronto on Saturday.

Marc-Andre Fleury gets the nod tonight in net for the Wild. Sammy Walker slots in on the line with Joel Eriksson Ek and Marcus Johansson.

It's always Hockey Day in The State of Hockey!
