A few of the Wild's injured players have practiced.
ST. PAUL - Mikey Milne and Reese Johnson both skated with the team on Friday. It was the first full practice for both of the Wild forwards. Johnson was considered day-to-day with an upper-body injury and is pushing toward being healthy.
Milne has also been practicing on his own after starting the Wild's training camp hurt. He skated with the team on Friday for the first time and should be ready soon. The Iowa Wild open their camp on Monday.
Matt Boldy (lower-body) skated on his own on Saturday. He is tracking towards being healthy but Wild head coach John Hynes said Saturday that Boldy will need several practices before he can play.
“I would anticipate at this time that he will be in several practices prior to playing," Hynes said. "If for some reason he’s not, I think it would be where his conditioning is at, how he feels where he’s at and put him in the best position to be able to be who we need him to be.”
Troy Grosenick suffered a lower-body injury before Wild training camp began and with the signing of Dylan Ferguson to a one-year contract, it is safe to assume the veteran goaltender could be out long-term.
