The Minnesota Wild are not only playing a game tonight against the Vancouver Canucks, but we have a cool debut coming in the form of defenseman Jacob Middleton.
When: 7:00 p.m. CT
Where: Xcel Energy Center
Radio: KFAN 100.3
Not only will Middleton play tonight but he’s going to be next to captain Jared Spurgeon at even strength, which is a mighty big compliment for the 26-year-old blueliner. And it has been repeated ad nauseam at this point, but it is interesting that he has played so much of his time in the NHL next to Erik Karlsson or Brent Burns; so there appears to be a natural fit next to Spurgeon.
