vs. St. Louis Blues at Xcel Energy Center: 7 p.m. TuesdayTV; radio: BSN; 100.3 FMStats and analytics: Tap here. Pregame reading: The Wild fired coach Dean Evason on Monday. Opening bell: The sputtering Wild (5-10-4) kick off three consecutive against the Central Division by playing host to the rival Blues in St. Paul a day after coach Dean Evason was fired. John Hynes will take over behind the bench. St. Louis (11-8-1) has been so-so, not dropping more than two in a row and winning more than two consecutive games only once, but that's good enough for a nine-point lead over the Wild in the division. Blues LW Pavel Buchnevich is on a roll, with multiple points in each of his past two games. Since Nov. 9, he ranks among NHL leaders in goals (7) and points (13). Last season, Buchnevich had a team-high six points vs. the Wild, including four goals.Injuries: None.Forecast: With one more loss, the Wild will have dropped eight in a row for the first time since 2016. Will the coaching change prevent that from happening? . . .
