(Sports Network) - The Toronto Maple Leafs will try to keep moving in the right direction as they will try for a third straight win when they host the Minnesota Wild tonight at Air Canada Centre.

The Maple Leafs came into this past weekend with just one win on the season, but posted back-to-back victories against Carolina and Detroit on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Toronto last won consecutive outings on March 21 and 24 of last season and hasn't notched three straight victories since a four-game winning streak from February 22-28.

After notching a close 3-2 win at Carolina, the Leafs returned home to record Saturday's shocking 5-1 defeat of the defending Western Conference champion Red Wings. Jeff Finger and Phil Kessel each netted a goal and an assist to lead Toronto.

Kessel notched his first goal since coming over to the Leafs in an offseason trade from Boston, while Finger also scored his first goal of the season. Kessel has a goal and two assists in three games this year after missing the first month of the season while recovering from offseason shoulder surgery.

"When you add a guy like Phil Kessel in the mix, it definitely gives a jolt to our whole lineup," said Toronto's Jason Blake. "Offensively, he's as dangerous as they get."

Wayne Primeau, John Mitchell and Alexei Ponikarovsky also scored for the Maple Leafs, who are just 1-4-2 at home this season. Jonas Gustavsson stopped 35 shots and is 3-2-3 in his first NHL campaign.

Toronto has earned a point in seven straight contests, going 3-0-4 since beginning the year on an eight-game losing streak.

On the injury front, Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Komisarek suffered a lower- body injury in Saturday's game and is questionable for this evening's test.

The Wild, meanwhile, have won three of their last four games and are coming off Saturday's close victory over visiting Dallas. Marek Zidlicky registered a goal and an assist to lift Minnesota to the 3-2 win at Xcel Energy Center.

Cal Clutterbuck and Mikko Koivu also scored for the Wild, while Niklas Backstrom made 19 saves in the win.

"We stuck with our game plan, stuck with our system. Guys were committed to playing the right game and helping each other out," Wild defenseman Nick Schultz said.

Wild forward Petr Sykora will miss tonight's game after suffering a concussion in the win over Dallas. Sykora sustained the injury on a hit to the head by Steve Ott of the Stars.

Tonight marks the start of a four-game road trip for the Wild, who are just 1-8-0 as the visiting club this season. Minnesota will also make stops in Tampa, Washington and Carolina during the swing.

This is the only scheduled meeting of the year between the Wild and Leafs. Minnesota notched a 6-1 home decision against Toronto last year, but the Maple Leafs have taken five of seven all-time in this series. The Wild have never won in four trips to Air Canada Centre.
