Canucks' Richard Bachman: Receives start Saturday in Minnesota

Bachman will defend the net for Saturday's road game against the Wild.

Analysis:

Bachman will get the nod for the first leg of Vancouver's back-to-back. The Utah native has looked good in limited action this season, allowing just three goals overall and posting a .955 save percentage in the only two contests he has suited up for. He'll look to keep up the good form against a Minnesota team that has struggled down the stretch, losing six of its last seven and averaging just 2.25 goals per game in March.
