The Wild won the first game 4-2 but the Wings would get revenge with a 3-2 win on Saturday night.

Wings forward #16 Kyle Haak (F-Okemos, MI) has shown the most success against the Wild this season scoring three goals. Forward #11 TJ Roo (F-Coon Rapids, MN) has a goal and an assist against the Wild with forward #24 Jonathan Grebosky (F-Pittsburgh, PA) has tallied two assists.

Wings goaltender #30 Henry Dill (G-Columbus, OH) faced the Wild both games this season. Against Wenatchee, Dill has a 90% save percentage stopping 55 of 61 shots. For the year, the Wings have two of the top goaltenders in the league with Dill (19-7-1, 2.35 GAA) and #1 Chad Catt (G-Williamstown, MI) who has a 94% save percentage and a 17-11-1 record.

Both games will air at 9:05 CST on Friday and Saturday with live play-by-play on 107.7 KABD-FM or watch/listen on FASTHockey.com.
