Wild update: The Wild planned to decide its starting goaltender vs. the Islanders after Saturday's 6-5 shootout victory at Pittsburgh. Cam Talbot played against the Penguins. Backup Kaapo Kahkonen has appeared only once, suffering a 5-2 loss to the Predators on Oct.24. The Wild is 3-1 at home this season. This is also the third of 14 back-to-backs; the Wild is 1-1 so far in the second game.
Islanders update: Like the Wild, the Islanders were in action Saturday, winning 2-0 in Winnipeg behind goals from Minnesotans Anders Lee and Brock Nelson. The Islanders (5-2-2) are in the midst of 13 consecutive road games before debuting at a new home inside UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. This is the longest season-opening stretch of road games in NHL history. Edina's Lee is back in action for the team after missing the end of last season with a knee injury.
The Wild are off to one of the best starts in franchise history, and Kirill Kaprizov is tied for the NHL scoring lead.
