Game Notes
MIN
?Dubnyk (13-14-3, 2.62 GAA, .912 Sv%) will likely start for the Wild
?The Wild are 1-4-1 since losing top offensive defenceman Matt Dumba to an injury that will keep him out until late March
?That stretch has put Minnesota 5 points behind Dallas for the final wild card spot, and 5 points behind Vancouver for 9th in the West. They do have 2 games in hand on the Stars, and somehow 5 games in hand on the Canucks
TOR
?Sparks (6-2-1, 3.00 GAA, .905 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Andersen is still out and considered day to day at this point, meaning Sparks will get another start. The back-up goalie is TBD, but I'd expect newly acquired Michael Hutchinson to get the call-up tomorrow
?Day game! Last years afternoon/kid game was a pretty big success for the Leafs, both on the ice and off. They won the game 8-1 against the Hurricanes and had an arena full of young fans
