Minnesota Wild vs. St. Louis Blues preview

The Minnesota Wild's quest for a historic season sweep of the Blues hangs in the balance as these Central Division rivals clash at the Xcel Energy Center on Saturday night.

St. Louis comes limping into town after a rough road stretch, dropping their last two games despite Jordan Binnington's typically solid presence between the pipes.

The Wild's recent offensive struggles are hard to ignore - they've barely mustered more than two goals per game in their last nine outings, and the absence of star winger Kirill Kaprizov leaves a gaping hole in their attack.

While the Blues' defense has been shaky, their offense has found its groove, lighting the lamp at least three times in 10 of their last 11 games - though they'll miss Colton Parayko's steady presence on the blue line.

Filip Gustavsson has been a bright spot for Minnesota, sporting a impressive .915 save percentage this season, but he'll need to be at his best to contain St. Louis's recently awakened offense.

The Wild's home ice advantage could prove crucial as they look to maintain their grip on the West's top wild card spot, sitting just two points behind Colorado in what's becoming an increasingly tight playoff race.

With both teams desperate for points and their contrasting styles - Minnesota's defensive prowess versus St. Louis's surging offense - this matchup has all the makings of a classic Central Division showdown.
