The Tampa Bay Lightning travel to the Twin Cities to take on the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday night in a premiere, nationally televised NHL matchup.

This is one of those games that’s a treat to watch, featuring two high-end teams that have been playing some of their best hockey lately.

Prior to Tuesday’s action, Tampa Bay was 16-5-0 in its last 21 games while Minnesota was 14-5-0 in its latest 19 contests. On top of that, both teams are almost completely healthy at the time of writing, so injuries shouldn’t be a significant factor.

The Lightning of course have the greater reputation given their three trips to the Stanley Cup Finals from 2020-2022, but Tampa Bay will also be playing in its second road game in as many nights while the Wild will be well rested going into their first game of 2023.
