Slumping Wild hope to get well at home

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild are hoping a string of home games will help get them back on the right rack.

The Wild, losers in three of their last four, open a five-game homestand against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday.

Minnesota, 14-3-1 at home, dropped a 3-1 decision to the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday. Pavol Demitra scored the lone goal for the Wild, who fired 31 shots at Dominik Hasek but only scored once.

The Blue Jackets, 9-7-1 since Ken Hitchcock took over as coach, also lost to Detroit, 7-4, on Thursday.

David Vyborny led Columbus with a goal and an assist while Dan Fritsche, Adam Foote and Ron Hainsey scored the other Blue Jackets goals.

Columbus will be without goaltender Pascal Leclaire, who will miss approximately six weeks with an injured knee.
