The Minnesota Wild are set to face the Chicago Blackhawks, entering the match with a troubling four-game losing streak. The Wild recently sent Jesper Wallstedt and Travis Boyd back to the minors, as they continue to deal with injuries, including that of goaltender Filip Gustavsson.

The Blackhawks, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back after a loss that halted their three-game winning streak. Star center Connor Bedard leads the team with 29 points, and they are adjusting to a recent coaching change.
