KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 46-28-8, 100 points. Fourth place in Central Division. Lost to Chicago Blackhawks in Western Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Yeo (fifth season, 146-107-33).
ADDED: LW Chris Porter, D Mike Reilly.
LOST: C Kyle Brodziak, LW Matt Cooke, RW Chris Stewart, LW Sean Bergenheim, D Jordan Leopold.
PLAYER TO WATCH: LW Thomas Vanek. His debut with the Wild was a disappointment with 21 goals, a career low for a non-lockout season. He didn't score in 10 playoff games. The 31-year-old Vanek will start on the third line, with rookie Tyler Graovac at center and Charlie Coyle on the other wing. Vanek played through injuries (hernia, groin), frequently found himself with new linemates and attempted fewer shots than ever. Vanek has cited a necessity to create more of his own scoring chances than he was used to with his former teams in the Eastern Conference.
OUTLOOK: The Wild went 28-9-3 over their final 40 games, the best record in the NHL from mid-January through the end of the regular season, and they beat the Central Division champion St. Louis Blues in six games to advance to the second round for the second year in a row. The problem was, and still is, the Blackhawks, who have won three of the last six Stanley Cup titles. With the current division alignment and postseason system, the Wild will likely have to get past the Blackhawks if they ever want to make a deep run in the playoffs. For the Wild to take that next step, Devan Dubnyk will have to up to the task of being the No. 1 goalie for the entire season, stalwart defenseman Ryan Suter needs to bounce back from a down year and somebody beside Zach Parise is going to have to pass the 25-goal mark.
ST LOUIS: LAST SEASON: 51-24-7, 109 points. Won Central Division, Lost to Minnesota Wild in first round.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock (fourth full season), 708 career wins fourth on career list.
ADDED: F Troy Brouwer, C Kyle Brodziak, F Scottie Upshall.
LOST: D Barret Jackman, F T.J. Oshie.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Vladimir Tarasenko. The 23-year-old forward is one of the emerging stars in the NHL, coming off a 37-goal season and with a new eight-year, $60 million contract.
OUTLOOK: The Blues have been eliminated in first round last three seasons after strong regular seasons. They'll attempt to finally excel in the playoffs by going to a more aggressive style with more players joining the rush and pressing the attack. They have the roster to make a deep playoff run.
PREVIEW
Wild-Blues Preview

If Zach Parise is frustrated by scoring once in the last 3 1/2 weeks, he can only imagine how Vladimir Tarasenko feels with the same goal total in the last four.

These wingers are emblematic of their teams' struggling offenses as they meet Saturday night when Tarasenko's Blues host Parise's Wild.

Parise has 17 goals, with one in this nine-game stretch in which Minnesota (23-19-9) has won once. The Wild fell to 1-8-1 in their last 10 with Thursday's 4-2 defeat to the New York Rangers that extended Parise's pointless drought to four games.

"He's incredibly frustrated, you can see that," coach Mike Yeo said.

Tarasenko can relate since his team-high goal total is stuck on 25 during a five-game pointless drought with the one tally in the last 11. The Blues have totaled three goals in a 1-2-1 stretch after Thursday's 3-1 loss to San Jose.

"I don't think we need to be worried, I think we need to remedy it," center David Backes said.

At least St. Louis (29-17-8) has won a game among its last four. The Wild are now on the outside looking in at the crowded Western Conference playoff picture thanks to an 0-3-1 stretch.

Thursday's defeat not too far from New York's famed Broadway prompted an appropriate response from Yeo.

"We've been searching for answers for that for quite some time," he said. "We've tried some different, whether it's talks, or meetings, or whatever, we're trying a lot right now and what it boils down to is the actors gotta act."

Minnesota has conceded at least three goals in five of its last seven games, with Devan Dubnyk allowing a total of eight in two defeats to start this three-game trip. He failed to hold a 2-0 lead after one period Thursday.

"We're a very fragile team," Ryan Suter said. "They get one, and we kind of go into a shell, and that's a team that has no confidence. So we have to figure it out, and figure it out fast or it's not going to work."

Parise is not the only culprit for the offense, with Thomas Vanek registering no goals in his last eight games. Charlie Coyle scored in four straight games to match Vanek with 14 overall before coming up empty versus the Rangers.

It won't be easy to break through against Blues expected starter Brian Elliott, who has posted a 1.71 goals-against average in his last seven starts.

St. Louis is 0 for 19 on the power play in its last eight games while that area has been a recent strength for Minnesota, which is 4 for 14 in its last five.

These teams have essentially played three one-goal games, with Vanek scoring a late empty-net tally in a 3-1 victory on New Year's Eve. The Wild also won 3-2 on Oct. 10 and lost by that score when Backes scored in overtime Oct. 31.

Tarasenko has missed the last two meetings after amassing six points in the previous three. Parise also sat out the last matchup.
