Locked on Wild PREGAME: Cam Talbot Starts in his Return to Minnesota as Wild host Los Angeles!

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we preview tonight's game against the Los Angeles Kings, as Cam Talbot makes his return to Xcel Energy Center along with former Wild forward Kevin Fiala. We look at the lineup changes for the Wild, with Sammy Walker taking Matt Boldy's spot in the lineup and Marc-Andre Fleury getting the start in net. We look at how the kings have done so far this season and give tonight's 3 Keys, which include:

A big test for the Wild defense. After performing well against Montreal, the D gets a big test against Los Angeles tonight. We will get a sense as to where they are at with tonight's performance.
Top Six needs to challenge Cam Talbot. We've seen the Wild struggle to challenge opposing goalies before, and they can't do that tonight especially with Talbot off to an uneven start to his Kings career.
Avoid Frustration and Retaliation. Kirill Kaprizov received a Player Misconduct penalty his last game against the Kings, the Wild need to avoid any sort of additional frustration or retaliation if they want to be victorious.
