Detroit has played in Minnesota on a Thursday night six times overall, with three of those occurring in a season that ended in an even-numbered year. They dropped a 10-1 decision to the North Stars on October 17, 1985 (1985-1986 season) and lost 5-1 to the Stars on November 9, 1989 (1989-1990 season). They beat the Wild 4-3 on January 21, 2010 (2009-2010 season), but that required a shootout.
