It seems all it took for the Wild to get back to their winning ways was to temporarily lose the stranglehold on the last postseason spot. After falling out of the 2nd wild card spot temporarily, Minnesota fought back with a 4-1 win over the Rangers on Thursday. Can they get two straight traveling to Detroit on Friday?
Minnesota Wild
Minnesota is in a tough spot on Thursday as they’ve gone 1-5 in their last 6 on 0 days rest. Prior to Thursday’s win at the Rangers, the Wild had dropped five in a row and 9 of their last 10. To say they’ve been struggling is an understatement.
The Wild will try to get consecutive wins as they send backup G Alex Stalock in net for Devan Dubnyk who got the win Thursday. Stalock is 0-2-1 his last three starts and has only been in net twice so far in February, giving up 8 goals.
Detroit Red Wings
On the flip side, Detroit will be well rested coming into Friday night’s game. The Wings haven’t played since a 4-5 OT loss to Chicago on Wednesday and will be at home for the 3rd straight outing. Can Detroit get one vs. a fatigued Wild squad?

Detroit sends Jimmy Howard out in net aiming for a better return on investment. Howard has given up 9 goals two of his last three starts. He had a solid outing last Sunday vs. the Flyers allowing 1 goal – but he also only faced 12 shots.

Free Minnesota Wild vs. Detroit Red Wings NHL Prediction:
Do the Wild have momentum or are they going to be worn down after a win at Madison Square Garden on Thursday? It’s hard to overlook just how bad Minnesota has been recently and the fact that they are still in a wild card spot is astounding. Go with the fresh squad at home in this one.
