How the Lines are projected to look for the Wild's game against the Edmonton Oilers tonight.The Minnesota Wild are back in action tonight against the Edmonton Oilers for an 8:00 p.m. CT start in Edmonton. Minnesota traveled home to practice yesterday after playing Winnipeg on Tuesday and flew back out after practice.
Zach Bogosian did not practice for the Wild and has been ruled out for the next two games at a minimum. There also wasn't any new update on Marcus Foligno's status.
John Hynes also didn't reveal how he would handle the goaltenders for this back-to-back with the Oilers and Seattle Kraken but we will know who is in net later this morning.
Here are the projected lines based on yesterday's practice. It's also worth noting that Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was absent from the Oilers practice for the second straight day yesterday due to an illness and remains day-to-day heading into Friday's matchup with the Wild.
