Brock Faber’s return could give the Wild the scoring depth they’ve been missing
The Minnesota Wild could welcome back Brock Faber to the lineup against the Boston Bruins on Saturday night as he missed the past seven weeks with a fractured skull. Faber’s return is a morale boost for the Wild, who did their best to navigate other injuries on the blue line. But it also could give them a boost in the team’s scoring.
Faber scored 15 goals and recorded 51 points in 80 games for the Wild and added four goals and 10 points during their 11-game playoff run last season. The offensive output went into another gear when Quinn Hughes made his debut for Minnesota on Dec. 14, scoring nine goals with 36 points over his final 48 games.
