Minnesota Wild look ahead to Game 3 of playoff series against Dallas

The Minnesota Wild return home to St. Paul with their first round Stanley Cup Playoff series with Dallas tied at 1-1.

The Wild are coming off a 7-3 loss to the Stars Wednesday night but were able to steal home ice advantage with their 3-2 win in double-overtime of game one.

Dating back to November 19, the Wild are 23-7-3 at home for a .742 pint percentage, the third-most wins and home point percentage in the NHL during that span.

The Wild could get center Joel Eriksson Ek back Friday night. He skated with the team Friday morning after missing the first two games of the series with a lower-body injury.

Game three is set for an 8:30 p.m. start Friday night at Xcel Energy Center.
