The Chicago Blackhawks head to Minnesota with a commanding 2-0 series lead and are looking to close things out before having to come back to the United Center for more NHL Playoff hockey. Preferably for the Blackhawks, the next game they’d like to play at home would be against a new opponent, but don’t count out the Wild returning there this season.
Game 1 is what the Wild are wanting to focus on, as that’s the closest they’ve come all series to knocking off the Blackhawks. There’s not question that Minnesota knocked the Hawks down in that game, but they allowed Chicago to get back up and we saw in Game 2 what an conscious Blackhawks team looks like.
Josh Harding will likely be getting the nod on net on Sunday which means he’ll have at least one more chance to get back to that early Game 1 magic he had between the pipes and help the Wild get back into this series in front of the home crowd.
