Hemsky, has been particularly exceptional in the points department. The veteran has collected 7 points in three games with 4 goals and 3 assists. Moreover, on 2 power play opportunities, A Hemsky helped Taylor Hall produce his first hat trick of the year; which has some fans wondering if Renney will keep the tandem together. When asked, Renney could only say that he will "look into it".
"If you look at the three wins, there's been something in each game that's really put us over the top," Hall said. "Last game it was our power-play, the game before our goal-tending was awesome. Those are certain things that good teams have every night. They bring certain things to the table and they usually use that to win."
On the other side, the Minnesota Wild look poised to make some noise in there home building. The club is sitting with a respectable 31-22-6 and are 12th overall in the league with 68 points. The Wild will finish up their three game homestand tonight and then fly into LA to face, the Kings and the Ducks.
*Injuries. Whitney and Brule are still on the shelf in the IR. Brule, appears to be ready to return, yet the medical staff felt that it would be necessary for #67 to take some more time off.
*Wild are expected to wear an alternate jersey which will feature a, "camo motiff"
