ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild (8-7-4) host the Vegas Golden Knights (8-4-5) tonight for a second of a back-to-back.

Forward Vladimir Tarasenko missed the Wild's game against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday and is day-to-day as of now.

“I would classify it as day to day right now with the information I have at this point," Wild head coach John Hynes said after the game on Saturday.

On Friday, Tarasenko was practicing with Danila Yurov and Vinnie Hinostroza on the team's third line. But on Saturday, Liam Ohgren took his spot as Tarasenko did not play with a lower-body injury.

Could he play tonight?

"I wouldn't say, you know what? I really don't know," Hynes said after Saturday's game if Tarasenko could play on Sunday. "We'll see what happens. Yesterday we had all these talks and then this morning it went haywire."
