The Minnesota Wild (2-2-1) is on the road tonight for one final preseason game against the Chicago Blackhawks (2-2-0).
Minnesota announced a view moves ahead of its game tonight. Defenseman Jack Johnson was released of his professional tryout and defenseman Matt Kiersted was recalled from Iowa Wild of the AHL to be the extra defender tonight.
It is the Wild's last game before the season starts on Oct. 9 in St. Louis.
Danila Yurov and Liam Ohgren will swap places in the lineup tonight. It will be another look for Yurov in the top-six as a winger and a big chance to prove what he's got before the season starts.
Zach Bogosian will also play on his off-side again with David Jiricek as his partner.
