The Minnesota Wild (2-3-1) is on the road tonight to face the New York Rangers (3-3-1). The Wild held a morning skate on Monday in New York and were missing some guys.
Zach Bogosian, who missed the Wild's last game in Philadelphia, was not on the ice for morning skate and will not play tonight. David Jiricek will play in his second consecutive game.

Ryan Hartman will move to the second line, Danila Yurov will go up to the third line and Ben Jones will make his season debut as the fourth line center.
