ST.PAUL, Minn. - The Minnesota Wild (26-11-9) is back in action tonight to host the New Jersey Devils (22-21-9).

Tonight marks the Hughes bowl.

The Wild will be without Joel Eriksson Ek tonight for the second consecutive game. They will also be without defenseman Zach Bogosian for the fourth-straight game.

Bogosian, 35, has missed the last three games with a lower-body injury. Daemon Hunt has played the last two games in replacement of Bogosian. He has one assist in those two games.

The 6-foot-3 defender has one goal, three points and 20 hits in 23 games for the Wild this year. He was placed on the Injured Reserve (IR) a few days ago and still is on the IR.
