At least there are some positives to get out of the Minnesota Wild’s current situation. With both Jared Spurgeon (injury) and Jonas Brodin (COVID) unlikely to play in the Winter Classic on Jan. 1, rookie defenseman Calen Addison will be getting his shot on the blue line in the outdoor event.

The lines are still undetermined, but considering that the team previously called up Kevin Czuczman as an extra defenseman, instead of Addison, earlier this season; Addison should be in the lineup.
