By Dan Larson -
The team kicked off their father-son road trip in Florida yesterday where they will face Tampa Bay tonight and Florida on Monday. Tonight's game will be a tough test. I don't think anyone expects it to be another 7-2 blowout like it was three weeks ago in St. Paul. Tampa Bay is one of the best teams in the East, and the Wild will have to play better than they have in the last few games if they want a win.
Some good articles to browse through before tonight's game, so on to the Walk:
