The Minnesota Wild are rolling through teams right now. Off to a beautiful, near-perfect 5-0-2 start, they head to Philadelphia to face a Flyers team that is having the polar opposite season. A 1-5-1 record and just a bevy of problems in their lineup -- no one can score, no one can defend, goaltending is a quasi question mark -- they are desperate to find any success anywhere.
That is what the Wild will need to be warry of in this Saturday matinee, the Flyers are going to play scrappier than ever to try and get at least a point out of this meeting.
But, it is the first meeting between one current Russian superstar and one of the next ones. Kirill Kaprizov and Matvei Michkov will be going head-to-head in what should be an interesting bout. Both payers are hyper competitive with all the skill in the world. It should be interesting.
