the wild's week ahead
Tuesday: vs. N.Y. Islanders, 7 p.m. (FSN)
Thursday: at San Jose, 9:30 p.m. (FSN)
Saturday: at Arizona, 7 p.m. (FSN)
Player to watch: Brock Nelson
The Islanders have been awesome this year, and it's not superstar captain John Tavares or former Gopher Kyle Okposo leading in goals. It's Nelson, a Warroad native and former University of North Dakota first-rounder.
