Johansson left practice early, won't play back-to-back

Marcus Johansson was on the ice for the Wild yesterday before they flew to Arizona for tonight's game against the Coyotes but eventually left practice early with an injury.

Wild head coach John Hynes said Johansson was on the ice "to see how it feels" but the 33-year-old left practice early and will not play tonight and likely won't play tomorrow. 

In 61 games this year, Johansson has notched nine goals and 27 points. He missed the Wild's last game against the San Jose Sharks and will need a couple more days off as Hynes said yesterday.
