A key Wild forward is sidelined. Brink's upper-body injury sidelines him against the Flyers, leaving a significant offensive gap.

ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild (38-16-11) is back in action tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers (30-23-11).

Minnesota is 7-2-1 in its last ten games, and the Flyers are 6-3-1 in their last ten. Here is tonight's goaltending matchup.

Tonight would have been Bobby Brink's first game against his former team but he will not play tonight. He is out with an upper-body injury.

"I mean, definitely a little emotional probably," Brink said on Tuesday about playing the Flyers. "But it probably won't be the last time I'll play them. I've got a lot of good buddies over there. The organization treated me great for three years. So I'm thankful for my time there, but just focused on playing here now."

Brink, 24, has 14 goals, 13 assists and 27 points in 58 games this season.
