The Wings won the 2005-2006 season series 3-1, with wins coming November 11th, 2005 (3-1), and January 30th (5-4), and April 2nd, 2006. The Wild’s win came on January 3rd, a 4-2 decision. The teams will wrap up their season series in December when they play three games over five days. After a strong 6-0-0 start, Minnesota came back to earth, filling out their record with 7 wins and 11 losses, including one overtime loss. They have lost two in a row and have only one two of their last seven. Their recent troubles can no doubt be attributed in part to the absence of Martin Gaborik (20. Oct, groin) and Pavol Demitra (20. Nov, concussion), both of whom contributed offensively when in the lineup. Gaborik may return tonight tonight, the AP reports.  Unfortunately for Minnesota, Demitra and  Gaborik aren’t the only players out with injuries, as Michael Russo of Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune writes today in a sob-story of a piece. The team will be without six regulars tonight if Gaborik sits. [...] [...] Tonight is the first of four meetings between these two teams this season.
