Minnesota have seven straight home games ahead of them, and they will hope to capitalize on their home advantage. Dean Evason's men lost only eight home games in regulation this season.

After the break, they managed to get a confidence-boosting victory over Nashville (5:1). Mark Stone is greatly missed, but he won't be able to help his team any time soon.
