Coming off two losses versus Vancouver and L.A., Minnesota is hoping to avoid falling behind early in the season and subsequently fighting an uphill battle like last year. Thus, the Minnesota Wild are highly motivated to secure a home win when they play Patrick Sharp and the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday at midnight GMT.

Three weeks into the season, the Blackhawks have yet to show the same consistency that led them to their Stanley Cup win last season. More precisely, Chicago posted a 5-4-1 record and experienced several disappointing losses early in the season. That said, the young team around Patrick Kane can certainly play more efficiently than they have done so far and should be able to elevate its level of play down the stretch. Leading the Hawks offense is center Patrick Sharp who recorded eight goals and three assists for a total of eleven points in nine appearances. Therefore, it appears to be a justified assumption that Chicago will be everyone's favorite on Sunday night.
