After a 14-day layoff due to a COVID-19 outbreak, the visiting Minnesota Wild could finally be back close to full strength Saturday night when they take the ice for the second game of their back-to-back with the Anaheim Ducks.
Goalie Cam Talbot, defensemen Jonas Brodin, Carson Soucy and Brad Hunt, and center Victor Rask all returned to practice on Friday afternoon in Anaheim after being removed from the protocol list on Thursday.
The rusty and short-handed Wild opened their West Coast road swing Tuesday with an ugly 4-0 loss at Los Angeles, but Thursday night bounced back to win their opener with the Ducks, 3-1.
