The Penguins will look to take advantage of another struggling team tonight when they head north to take on the Minnesota Wild. Patrick and Hunter begin the show by taking a look at a very talented but struggling Minnesota Wild team. They discuss what has led to a slow start for the Wild, who the Penguins will need to be aware of, and who the Wild could lean on to break their current losing streak. (0:00) Then, they turn their attention to the Penguins, who will need to step up tonight to grab a big two points, including the bottom six. They also talk about the decision to play defenseman Matt Dumba, who in limited action this year, has struggled, but could turn it around against his former team. (11:16) Finally, Benjamin Kindel will play tonight, making it his 10th NHL game, and activating his entry-level deal. While Kindel has earned it through solid play, defenseman Harrison Brunicke remains a healthy scratch, so does this hint at a return to juniors or is it part of the developmental plan? (23:44)
