Tonight it is Bruce Boudreau and the Canucks as the Wild try to even the record on the road trip after dropping the last two in Alberta.
Sammy Walker will make his NHL debut tonight!
Nic Petan will come out of the lineup for Walker. Petan has really been a non-factor thus far so Walker should be a welcomed presence with some offensive upside.
Matt Boldy needs someone to play with much like Kevin Fiala did until Boldy's call up last season. The major difference of course Fiala was a seasoned veteran, while Boldy is in his first full NHL season.
Boldy has been good despite his lack of a complementary player. Boldy however is having some issues on the top powerplay, where he has all the talent he needs to be successful. Boldy is guilty of over passing the puck, especially trying to feed Kaprizov. That needs to change and quickly because Boldy is a goal scorer who the Wild are counting on to be a finisher.
It's always Hockey Day in The State of Hockey!
