<b>ST. PAUL -</b> Well, the injuries just keep coming for the Minnesota Wild. They entered Wednesday's game without Marcus Foligno for the second consecutive game and also did not have Marcus Johansson due to an illness.
Wild head coach John Hynes said he looked good in practice but he will see on Saturday morning if Rossi is ready to go.
Marcus Foligno was not on the ice on Friday and will not play against the Sabres on Saturday.
Good news though, Jonas Brodin was on the ice again. He was taking line rushes with Jared Spurgeon so he looks like he will play on Saturday.
