Minnesota Wild
Minnesota captain Mikko Koivu doubled his season goal total after recording his first career multi-goal performance in over three years and 18th career in Tuesday’s 5-4 victory over Columbus.
Eric Staal collected a goal and an assist on Tuesday to match his total in a 4-2 victory over Detroit on Jan. 22. Minnesota has recorded at least a point in 11 of its last 15 games (8-4-3) versus Detroit.
Minnesota LW Zach Parise has totaled 23 points (12 goals, 11 assists) in 20 career meetings with Detroit.
Devan Dubnyk should be the starting goalie in the game tonight. His stats up to this point on the season are: 11-15-2 W-L | 3.34 GAA | 0.892 SV% | 1 SO
Detroit Red Wings
Dylan Larkin extended his point streak to four games (two goals, four assists) after setting up Valtteri Filppula’s power-play goal midway into the third period on Tuesday.
The point was the 515th in the career for Filppula, who moved past Jere Lehtinen into sole possession of 10th place in league history in points by a Finnish-born player. The 35-year-old Filppula has recorded 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) in 39 career games against Minnesota.
