This will be David and Goliat battle, after Minnesota lead the NHL and Western Conference with 44 points obtained in 32 games 20 win, 12 loss while NY Islanders sits on the last place at Eastern Conference recording only 24 points in 29 matches played so far. The Islanders won nine matches and failed in twenty, they are in bad fit at the moment going today after four loss in a row holding 3-6-3 record far from home. On the other hand Minnesota Wild is in great fit with seven won matches of last nine. The Wild defeat teams like San Jose, Los Angeles, Nashville, Phoenix to record twelve win in last sixteen games played in last two months. The Wild failed in last home game against Chicago two days ago but that was unhappy penalty shootout loss. As we know the Blackhawks also hold 20-12 record tied with Minnesota to the first place. NY Islanders has problems after their first two choice goalies Di Pietro and Nabokov are injured, that's why they used goaltender of AHL in past few match but Poulin isn't so good or is unexperienced to NHL level. Players like Koivu, Setoguchi and Heatley should use that problems at Islanders defense taking good win in regular time.
