ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (38-25-5) hosts the Seattle Kraken (30-34-5) for a late Wednesday night game tonight on National TV.

The Wild will roll with Filip Gustavsson again tonight. He will make his fifth consecutive start and his ninth start in the Wild's last ten games.

In the Wild's last ten games, Gustavsson is 4-3-1 with a 2.23 goals-against average and has one shutout in that span. He is coming off a win and is 26-15-4 on the season with a 2.57 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage.

Seattle's Joey Daccord started last night in Chicago so Philipp Grubauer is expected to start tonight for the Kraken.

Grubauer is 7-15-1 on the season with a 3.61 goals-against average and a .872 save percentage. He was placed on waivers by the Kraken not long ago but since being called up from the AHL, he has won two consecutive starts and has only allowed three goals in those two games.

Minnesota isn't expected to make any changes to its lineup tonight. Marcus Foligno will be out again tonight with an upper-body injury.

Wild head coach John Hynes said this morning that one forward is sick and may not play tonight. Liam Ohgren was recalled under emergency conditions and will play if needed.

Here are tonight's projected lines (subject to change).
