The Pittsburgh Penguins returned home from Sweden this week after splitting the NHL Global Series and will try to cool off Matt Boldy and the visiting Minnesota Wild on Friday night.

Pittsburgh shut out the Nashville Predators 4-0 in Stockholm on Sunday; they lost the opener 2-1 in overtime after giving up the tying goal late in regulation.

Minnesota beat the visiting Carolina Hurricanes 4-3 in a shootout on Wednesday night and is 7-1-1 since a 3-6-3 start. Boldy scored his first career short-handed goal to increase his point streak to five games (four goals, three assists) and later added the shootout winner.

Mats Zuccarello had a goal and an assist, and Brock Faber also scored as the Wild won their third straight and extended their point streak to six (5-0-1).
