The Minnesota Wild will aim to extend the NHL's longest active point streak to 10 games on Sunday night when they visit the Washington Capitals.
The Wild (42-20-5, 89 points), however, will have little time to savor their 3-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
Conversely, the Capitals (37-21-10, 84 points) have had nothing but time on their hands since losing 6-1 to the Hurricanes on Monday.
