Just when everything seemed to get back to normal, with a fully healthy Minnesota Wild roster that would hopefully reclaim they’re spot among the best teams in the NHL, another key piece is out with an injury.
During Thursday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres, captain Jared Spurgeon lasted just one shift in the third period, but had to leave off the bench and head down to the trainer’s room. According to head coach Dean Evason, the 32-year-old has reaggravated the lower-body injury that kept him out for eight games.
“It’s not good,” Evason said.
