    A key forward attempts to skate Tuesday as the Wild navigate multiple injuries. Updates arrive on Johansson, Jiricek, and Hinostroza.

    ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild's (19-9-5) entered the Boston Bruins game on Sunday without Jonas Brodin, Jake Middleton, Mats Zuccarello, Vinnie Hinostroza and Marcus Foligno on Sunday.

    In that same game, forward Marcus Johansson left with an injury and defenseman David Jiricek left with an injury.

    "I probably won’t know more until tomorrow whether it’s the guys from the game tonight or kinda what this week’s progression is gonna be. Vinnie Hinostroza I think is gonna try to skate on Tuesday," Wild head coach John Hynes said after the game. "I still have to find out about Johansson and Jiricek."

    At least some positive news came out of it. Hinostroza has missed the last 11 games with a lower-body injury but will attempt to skate on Tuesday.

    The 5-foot-10 forward has two goals and five points in 22 games this year.
