Thu Mar 27 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Wild Look to Break Losing Streak Against Capitals Tonight

**SAINT PAUL, Minn. —** The Minnesota Wild (40-27-5, 85 points) aim to snap a two-game losing skid when they host the Washington Capitals (47-15-9, 103 points) tonight at 6:30 p.m. at the Xcel Energy Center. This marks the Wild’s third two-game losing streak this month, following back-to-back losses against the Dallas Stars and Vegas Golden Knights.

The Wild were shut out in Dallas on Monday before suffering a 5-1 defeat to Vegas at home on Tuesday. Marcus Johansson scored the Wild’s lone goal in that game, assisted by Mats Zuccarello.

Tonight’s matchup pits the fourth-place team in the Central Division against the Metropolitan Division leaders. The Wild hold a slight all-time series advantage over the Capitals, 16-13-3, with a 10-5-1 record at the Xcel Energy Center. The teams last met on February 25th, with Minnesota winning in a shootout, 4-3. Ryan Hartman led the Wild with two points in that game.

The Wild’s injury situation remains a concern. Declan Chisholm (lower body), Joel Eriksson Ek (lower body), Marcus Foligno (upper body), and Kirill Kaprizov (lower body) are all currently sidelined. The team has also seen recent roster shuffling, with defenseman Cameron Crotty and forward Liam Öhgren being recalled and reassigned to the Iowa Wild.
