Three Minnesota Wild Veterans Return To Practice, One Key Center Is Absent
Injuries have been a challenge for the Minnesota Wild at this point in the season, and today's practice was a positive sign that they are on the verge of full health.
Brock Faber participated in his first team practice since suffering a skull fracture, and coach John Hynes said Faber will join the team on their road trip next week.
He also mentioned that captain Jared Spurgeon won't play this weekend, but Nick and Marcus Foligno are game-time decisions.
Spurgeon is dealing with his second injury stint, as he is currently nursing a lower-body injury. He has been out since Oct. 27, but returning to practice is a good sign that he is improving and nearing a return.
