When the Wild hosts the Blue Jackets today, it will be the first time in North America’s four major pro sports that teams with concurrent winning streaks of at least 12 games meet, the Elias Sports Bureau says. The Wild has won a team-record 12 straight games and is a franchise-best 13-0-1 in its past 14. The Blue Jackets have a franchise-record 14-game winning streak, tied for fourth longest in NHL history, that started with a 5-1 win against the Lightning on Nov. 29. The previous best winning-streak matchup was 11 versus 11 when the Lakers visited the Trail Blazers on Feb. 29, 2000.

Christmas Q&A: What has been the NHL’s biggest surprise?
