Preview Roundups

Minnesota at Calgary 9:00 PM ET
Minnesota Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said he isn't expecting anything out of the norm on Friday when his club continues its five-game road trip with a visit to the Calgary Flames. The Wild have come under fire from the Flames' bloggers for allegedly targeting Johnny Gaudreau in the first meeting 2 1/2 weeks ago, resulting in a fractured finger for the star following 21 slashes throughout the course of the contest.
Montreal at San Jose 10:30 PM ET
The San Jose Sharks have won five of their last six contests and complete a difficult seven-game, 12-day stretch with another challenge Friday when the Atlantic Division-leading Montreal Canadiens pay a visit. San Jose allowed eight goals in its last six outings, capped by Wednesday’s 4-1 victory at red-hot Los Angeles, and is beginning to look more like the team that won the Western Conference in 2015-16.
