Look out for the Wild! They have won 5 straight. What did I say on February 1? THE WILD DON'T SUCK! 2 shutout wins in a row by the way.
A lot of joy in Canucks Nation with that 5-0 win over the Penguins on Saturday night. It was beautiful puck movement and finishing touches. But that Penguins team had played 3 games in 4 nights and it showed. This will be Minnesota's 2nd game in 6 nights and it will show, trust me. They need this game. They sucked so bad at the beginning of the season that even after their current 5 game streak they are still 5 points behind the Canucks and Calgary (7th and 8th spot in the West with 61 points.) It will take a lot of intestinal fortitude for the Canucks to bang a win out here.

LINE COMBOS
Canucks That site lists Kenins in over Kassian. I think Kassian earned another game, don't you? Tanev returns, Clendening sits apparently
Minny is about to play back to back games. Will they start the red-hot Devan Dubnyk against the Canucks and the recalled Darcy Kuemper on Tuesday night? We will soon find out.
This is cool:
