KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 38-33-11, 87 points. Finished fifth in Central Division. Lost to Dallas Stars in Western Conference quarterfinals.
COACH: Bruce Boudreau (first season, 10th NHL season).
ADDED: C Marc Staal, RW Chris Stewart.
LOST: LW Thomas Vanek, RW Justin Fontaine, LW Chris Porter, C Jarret Stoll, RW David Jones.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Mikael Granlund. The ninth pick in the 2010 draft, a cult hero in his native Finland, hasn't matched the hype with offensive production over his first four NHL seasons. But he has proved to be a hard-nosed defensive player and, playing all 82 games for the first time, posted a career-best 13 goals and 44 points last season. Granlund, who has been playing left wing on a line centered by captain and fellow Finn Mikko Koivu, is poised for a breakout in Boudreau's system.
OUTLOOK: With Granlund and fellow forwards Charlie Coyle, Nino Niederreiter, Erik Haula and Jason Zucker, plus defensemen Jonas Brodin and Matt Dumba, the Wild have a young core. Koivu, Staal, Zach Parise, Jason Pominville and defenseman Ryan Suter will all be 32 or older this season, so the time is now to make a move past the early rounds of the playoffs where they've been stuck the last four years. It's up to Boudreau to guide them there.
EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 31-43-8, 70 points. Fourth in Pacific Division.
COACH: Todd McLellan (second season, ninth NHL season).
ADDED: LW Milan Lucic, D Adam Larsson, G Jonas Gustavsson, LW Jesse Puljujarvi.
LOST: LW Taylor Hall, F Lauri Korpikoski
PLAYER TO WATCH: Connor McDavid. When a broken collarbone cut McDavid's rookie season to 45 games, he was still better than a point-a-game player. At 19 years old, the 2015 top pick is already one of the best players in the NHL and can almost singlehandedly get the Oilers closer to contention.
OUTLOOK: Even with McDavid, Edmonton is still a work in progress and likely won't be in the running for a playoff spot in the competitive Western Conference. The Oilers will be a fun, young team to watch and have some bite with the addition of Lucic, but it's a growing pains year for McLellan and his group.
PREVIEW
Wild visit Oilers, try to snap road slide

EDMONTON, Alta -- The Minnesota Wild lost the first three games of their five-game road trip.

But as they prepare to play the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday, Minnesota's coach and players said they feel like they should have come out with something more.

All three were one-goal losses, including Friday 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary, and two came in the shootout.

In each of the Wild's last five games, they scored first. So, it's not like Minnesota is struggling badly. It's more of a case of small mistakes costing them points.

"We've just got to get sharper," said Wild goalie Devan Dubnyk, who played 171 games as an Edmonton Oiler. "We're a great hockey team. We talk about that in the room. Just because we're a great hockey team doesn't mean it's just going to happen for us. We have to go out there and be great. We have a lot of guys in this room that can do that. It's a long season. I have no doubt we'll get back to where we were."

If the Wild could get some goals from their top line, they could turn narrow losses into victories. Coach Bruce Boudreau has been very critical of his top unit of Charlie Coyle, Zach Parise and Eric Staal. The trio didn't get a point against Calgary, and generated only four shots on goal.

They were pointless in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Vancouver Canucks.

"(They) weren't very good," Boudreau said of his top three. "They've got to get going on their own. We can prod them, but in the end, we need those guys to be our best players or we're not going to have success."

The Oilers won only their second home game in their last seven on Saturday, a 3-2 overtime victory over the Anaheim Ducks. Leon Draisaitl scored the winner and has three goals in his last two games. Connor McDavid, the NHL's leader with 34 points, had his seven-game point streak snapped, but still has 15 points in his last eight outings.

"Sometimes it takes a little while to build chemistry and feel really comfortable with guys," Draisaitl said. "We had some good looks (against the Ducks) and had the tough matchups."

Oilers coach Todd McLellan is looking to get more out of the Oilers' power home ice. It has been Jekyll-and-Hyde this season. On the road, it has a 26.8 percent success rate, but it's only 12.6 at home.

The Oilers got a power-play goal in Saturday's win, though, and another just as an Anaheim penalty was expiring. So the coach is hoping the team is snapping out of its home-ice funk.

"We've moved a few people around and encouraged them to throw more pucks at the net, but tactically and systematically, there is not a lot of difference," McLellan said. "They are just going in. We were in the crapper with the power play and now we are starting to come out of it and we need to keep it rolling."

This will be the first meeting of the season between the Wild and Oilers.
