The Monsters are looking for redemption against the Iowa Wild tonight. The last time the two met, the Wild swept the weekend series shutting out the Monsters in both games.

The Wild are great at taking away scoring chances. The Monsters have to muscle through every play and aggressively attack the blue paint. On the flip side, Oliver Bjorkstrand has shown the importance of patience twice in the past month.

In last night's game against the Admirals, the Monsters played a crisp, clean game especially on the power play. If they continue to play like they did last night, the Monsters will see a playoff berth.
