The Wild are set to conclude their road trip with a stop in Los Angeles. Here are the projected lines.
Freddy Gaudreau missed the last two games due to personal reasons but he did meet the team today and is projected to be in the lineup tonight.
Adam Beckman took line rushes in practice this morning but will be a scratch tonight for the second straight game. The Wild will elect to go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards tonight.
Filip Gustavsson will man the crease for what will likely be his last start of the season. He is 19-18-4 this year with a 3.11 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage with three shutouts.
