Minnesota Wild (0-1-1) at Chicago Blackhawks (3-0-1)
7:30PM Central
Fox Sports North - NBC Sports Chicago



STARTING GOALIES:

Minnesota: Devan Dubnyk
Chicago: Corey Crawford

The hits just keep on coming as the Hawks face yet another strong team (last year anyway) in the Wild.

This is a team that went through some changes over the summer, but I wouldn't let a slow early start fool you—they will likely be a tough foe over the course of the season.

Last year's Wild club gave the Hawks fits with their speed. If the OT loss in Toronto is any indication, the Hawks—though their team speed has improved—are still struggling with speed teams.

Nick Schmaltz (upper body) is still out tonight. Connor Murphy is back in, Cody Franson likely sits.

I'll recap tomorrow.
