The Minnesota Wild are still trying to recover and break in new pads after they lost much of their equipment in a truck fire two weeks ago. Head trainer Tony DaCosta had this to say about what has happened:
Minnesota Wild ‘About 50 Percent’ After Equipment Fire

↵↵"We're far from back to normal," he said. "We're about 50 percent."
↵DaCosta believes a blowtorch ignited in the back of the Ottawa Senators' equipment truck during the short drive from the Kanata Recreation Centre, where the Wild practiced, to Scotiabank Place, where the Senators defeated the Wild 4-1 on Dec. 19.
↵He estimated damages at about $100,000.

While the Wild lost to the Senators, they have found their game as of late winning their last two games and scoring three or more goals in their last three. They travel on the road for the first time since the incident occurred with games against the Pacific Division in Los Angeles Monday night and Anaheim Tuesday night.
