Wild Injury Updates: Kaprizov, Spurgeon, Middleton ST. PAUL - The Minnesota Wild (25-11-4) are back home to face the St. Louis Blues (19-18-4) tonight. The Wild are expected to make a few changes tonight. Devin Shore will draw back into the lineup. He missed last game with an illness. Carson Lambos was recalled from the Iowa Wild but is not expected to make his NHL debut. Defenseman Travis Dermott was getting bag skated with the scratches after the Wild's morning skate so he looks to be a healthy scratch tonight after playing in only six minutes last game. Jake Middleton skated for the second straight day with the Wild. Although Wild head coach John Hynes didn't confirm that Middleton would play, all signs point to him getting into the lineup. He missed the last 11 games with an upper-body injury. The Wild went 6-5-0 in that span. Filip Gustavsson will make his second start in a row. He is coming off a shutout win against the Carolina Hurricanes and will make his third start of the year against the Blues. Kirill Kaprizov still hasn't skated yet and will miss his sixth game in a row with a lower-body injury. Here are tonight's projected lines (subject to change).
