Minnesota Wild

Players to target: Mikael Granlund, Mikko Koivu, and Nino Niederreiter

We can make a case for a bunch of forwards on the Minnesota Wild tonight, but the "shutdown" line will have their chances to contribute offensively tonight. Assuming they see the Jack Eichel line, which allows 31.5 Scoring Chances Against per 60 minutes and 15.9 High-Danger Chances Against per 60 minutes, this is an awesome matchup that gets a boost with the return of Nino Niederreiter.

This line will also man the top power-play for Minnesota, increasing their offensive upside should the Buffalo Sabres start to get penalty-happy. As a mid-tier stack, with Granlund playing as aggresively as he has all season, the top Wild line deserves consideration in tournaments.
