The Minnesota Wild (1-0-2) are back in action tonight against the St. Louis Blues (2-1-0). The Wild will be without Jared Spurgeon and Joel Eriksson Ek tonight and could be without Marcus Johansson.
Johansson, 34, did not participate in Tuesday's morning skate for the Wild and is listed as questionable.
