The Wild won four of five prior to the All-Star break and are currently tied with the Kings, but must play better at home. The Wild are 4-6-1 at the Xcel Energy Center since the start of December, and 11-11-2 on the season. They had 12 regulation losses at home in all of 2009-10. “We’ve been a really strong team at home in our building. This year it’s been the other way around,” Niklas Backstrom said after making 31 saves in last Tuesday’s 4-2 victory at Chicago. “We want to be better at home.” Backstrom stopped 32 shots in the October loss to the Kings.
Los Angeles didn’t take full advantage of that stretch, losing 10 of 12 before rallying to beat Phoenix, Boston and San Jose to move within one point of the eighth-place Sharks in the Western Conference. Kings embark on a season-high 10-game trip Tuesday night when they visit a Minnesota Wild team that also went into the break playing some of its best hockey. Los Angeles Kings entered the All-Star break on a positive note, reeling off three straight wins. Alexei Ponikarovsky tied Wednesday’s eventual 3-2 shootout victory over San Jose with a goal in the third period, setting the stage for Jarret Stoll to score the only goal of the tiebreaker.
