Jeff Petry steps in for the hobbling veteran as Minnesota reshuffles its defensive pairings to keep their postseason hopes alive against the high-powered Colorado Avalanche tonight.
The Minnesota Wild is back in action tonight against the Colorado Avalanche for Game 5 of the second round matchup.
After morning skate, Wild head coach John Hynes said there would be one game-time decison tonight on a player that is injured.
Warmups began and Zach Bogosian was not on the ice. Jeff Petry was. Bogosian has been dealing with a lower-body injury since six games left of the regular season.
He got hurt on the ankle in Game 4 and missed some time. Bogosian did return but will not play tonight. Petry will take his spot.
After a good showing with Jared Spurgeon, Daemon Hunt will move back down on the third set. Jake Middleton will move back up to play with Spurgeon.
One more change for the Wild. Michael McCarron will move up and be the second-line center. Danila Yurov will move down.
