Minnesota Wild backup goalie Josh Harding, back on the ice after recovering from two torn knee ligaments, wound up the tough-luck loser in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to Detroit. But there are some who say Harding was the reason the Wild came away with at least one point.

The Red Wings came into Minnesota on a three-game skid. The Wild made it four-in-a-row with good goaltending.

The Minnesota Wild came from behind to beat the Red Wings 2-1 in overtime last night in Detroit. Mikko Koivu tied the game at one with one minute left in the third period and he assisted on Devin Setoguchi’s game winner in overtime.

It was doomsday in Detroit on Friday as the Red Wings rocked the Wild to the tune of 6-0. Josh Harding allowed all six Detroit goals before being pulled for Matt Hackett in the third period.

The Minnesota Wild and the Detroit Red Wings will meet on the ice at Joe Louis Arena Tuesday night for the second half of a home-and-home series. The Wild beat Detroit 1-0 Saturday night in St. Paul.

The 23-man Wild roster is set for opening night. The puck is set to drop at 7p.m. Saturday night at the Xcel Energy Center. Minnesota will look to edge the Columbus Blue Jackets with off-season, first line additions Devin Setoguchi and Dany Heatley.

At the end of January, Wild goalie Josh Harding had a rough game against Nashville -- giving up crucial goals in a 5-4 loss. He’ll get another chance in nets tonight when Minnesota takes on Anaheim at the X. The Wild re looking to snap a four-game losing streak.
