The defense of the Minnesota Wild is deep. So much so that the lineup of defenders seems to be different every game. Mike Reilly looks to log some serious game time as the Wild continue to develop him and see if he’s got what it takes to be a full-time NHL defender. Christian Folin looked to be in the same boat as he would look to get the time that Reilly didn’t get with the same goal of looking to see when/if he can be a NHL defender.
But largely Reilly was thought to be head and shoulders above Folin.
