ST. PAUL, Minn. — The Wild won't be getting upset by any more non-playoff teams.
That's because its last two opponents of the regular season are among the best in the NHL, an appropriate tune-up before a first-round matchup vs. the Blues kicks off next week.
And this caliber of competition better suited the Wild, with the team rebounding from an off night earlier in the week against the lowly Coyotes to outduel the Flames, 3-2, in overtime on Thursday in front of 18,490 at Xcel Energy Center and improve its bid for home-ice advantage.
