Wild update: The Wild can sweep their trip after their 2-1 overtime win Tuesday at New Jersey extended their point streak on the road to nine games. This 7-0-2 run is tied for the third longest in team history. Overall since March 1, the Wild are 7-1-2. RW Matt Boldy has six goals and four assists during a season-high six-game point streak. Four of those goals have come in Boldy's last two games. Marc-Andre Fleury will start in goal and captain Jared Spurgeon, who missed the Jersey game because of illness, should return.
Flyers update: The Flyers are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference, but they've snagged a least a point in three consecutive games. On Tuesday, they upended the Panthers 6-3 after an overtime loss to the Hurricanes and a win over the Sabres last week. Leading scorer Travis Konecny has missed the past 12 games with an upper-body injury. Former Minnesota-Duluth F Noah Cates, who's from Stillwater, has 11 goals and 20 assists in 70 games.
To be more competitive at home against Edmonton, the Wild are focusing on details while key injured players heal.
