ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- Thanks to some stellar play at home, the Minnesota Wild are staying close to the Northwest Division lead.

The Wild aim for their ninth win in their last 11 home contests when they host the St. Louis Blues on Thursday.

The Wild have 93 points and are just three behind first-place Vancouver (45-23-6) in the Northwest. Minnesota also is sixth in the Western Conference, one point behind San Jose (45-25-4).

Minnesota extended its winning streak to a franchise-record seven games in a 3-2 home victory over Phoenix on Tuesday. Pavol Demitra and Marian Gaborik each had a goal and an assist.

Todd White added a power-play goal and rookie goaltender Niklas Backstrom made 29 saves for Minnesota, which is 24-6-4 on home ice this season.

The Blues hope to bounce back from Tuesday's 4-2 home loss to the Ottawa Senators.
