ST. PAUL - Wild hockey is officially back after a long offseason. The team is set to hit the ice tonight in Winnipeg after a morning skate in St. Paul. 

Wild head coach John Hynes said yesterday that Jesper Wallstedt will start tonight against the Jets with Marc-Andre Fleury backing him up. 

"I think just being in their presence and definitely in Marc-Andre’s presence, just being around, seeing how he competes during his 21^st NHL season and that’s how old I am," Wallstedt said about being around Fleury. "Just thinking about that is pretty crazy."
