Minnesota Wild v Carolina Hurricanes Live

Considering that Minnesota managed to drop six in a row in the preseason, things have certainly not been going according to plan for the squad of coach Todd Richards so far. Most importantly, the Wild will have to find a way to revitalize their stagnant offense that has been struggling ever since former franchise centerpiece Marian Gaborik left the team about a year ago. Thus, the Minnesota Wild will make their way to Raleigh where they will take on Eric Staal and the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday at 4 a.m. GMT.

The 'Canes on the other hand did a fairy decent job in their preparations for this year's NHL campaign, even though the franchise from North Carolina lost Ray Whitney to the Phoenix Coyotes this summer. More precisely, seventh overall pick Jeff Skinner has shown in the preseason that he could become a valuable part of the Hurricanes offense and helped the team around Eric Staal to win three out of six. Taking everything into consideration, Saturday's match between Minnesota and Carolina appears to be still anyone's game, even though the 'Canes might have a slight edge due to their tough defense.
