WILD LOOK TO BOUNCE BACK AGAINST BRUINS
The Wild look to rebound from Monday’s loss when they visit the Bruins in a national telecast on NBCSN. This marks the first of two meetings between these clubs in 2014-15; Minnesota has won 11 of their 14 all-time matchups, including six of seven at TD Garden. Boston, however, claimed its first home victory in the head-to-head series with a 4-1 win March 17 of last season. Overall, the Bruins have won three of their last four outings, including a 4-1 triumph Saturday against the Maple Leafs. The Wild, meanwhile, have outscored their opponents 23-11 this season and have allowed the fewest shots against per game in the League (21.9).

KINGS TRY TO STAY HOT AGAINST FAMILIAR OPPONENT
The Kings, winners of six in a row, will try to extend their hot streak when they face off against the Flyers at Wells Fargo Center. Los Angeles has several former Flyers on its roster, including forwards Jeff Carter, Mike Richards and Justin Williams (as well as assistant coach John Stevens). Philadelphia’s lineup also includes several former Kings – notably Wayne Simmonds and Brayden Schenn. This marks the first of two meetings between these clubs in 2014-15; they split their season series last year, but Los Angeles has won three consecutive trips to the City of Brotherly Love.

TOP WESTERN CONFERENCE CLUBS MEET IN CHICAGO
Two of the top clubs in the Western Conference – the Ducks (7-2-0, 14 points) and Blackhawks (5-2-1, 11 points) – battle for the first time this season when they meet at United Center. Chicago won two of three matchups between these teams in 2013-14, but Anaheim has won five of the last seven in the head-to-head series dating to 2011-12. Overall, the Blackhawks are coming off a 2-1 victory Sunday against the Senators – highlighted by a 32-save performance by Scott Darling in his NHL debut. The Ducks, meanwhile, dropped their most recent decision (4-1 Sunday against the Sharks) following a seven-game winning streak.
