TOR
?Campbell (13-4-1, 1.72 GAA, .943 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Kase was back in his regular spot alongside Kampf and Engvall at practice on Friday, so it looks like he could be returning after missing the past 3 games
?Woll was also back at practice and the plan is for both him and Hutchinson to travel to Minnesota. It's not clear if he'll be dressing or playing this weekend but I wouldn't be surprised to see Hutch back-up against the Wild and Woll to start against Winnipeg
?A couple of minor injury notes: Rielly wasn't at practice because of a blocked shot he took earlier in the week while Marner left practice after a collision with Muzzin. Both are expected to play but will be re-evaluated Saturday morning
MIN
?Talbot (12-5-0, 2.71 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Wild
?Minnesota sits 4th in the league in points and maybe a little more surprisingly 4th in goals per game
?Their offensive contributions are largely coming from two players: Kirill Kaprizov who is tied for 5th in the league in scoring and Ryan Hartman who is currently tied for 8th in the league in goals
?Hartman has been a surprise star for the Wild this season with 13 goals and 21 points in 23 games. He's in his 6th season in the NHL and the Wild are his 4th team. He'll easily surpass his career highs in goals and points which he set in his rookie season when he had 19 goals and 31 points with Chicago
