Gameday: CC vs. Minnesota

Three keys to the game:
1. CC must limit turnovers in the neutral zone. Minnesota's transition game becomes lethal when it can create odd-man rushes.
2. The Tigers need to finish their checks and be diligent in their man-to-man to give goaltender Richard Bachman his best chance at a win in his first career start.
3. CC can't take needless penalties. The Gophers' power play is known for its creative movement and deceptive passing--and scoring ability.
