- Sean Kuraly will be scratched from tonight’s game, with Par Lindholm taking his spot on the fourth line. Jaroslav Halak will get the start in net.
- "Lindy's played well," Cassidy said in Minnesota.. "Sean, again, little more competitive spirit we've got to pull out of his game.”
- Minnesota will play its first game back from the bye week on Saturday night. The Wild are 3-1-0 in their past four games after going 1-5-1 in their previous seven outings. Former Bruin Ryan Donato, limited to 15 points over 45 games with Minnesota this season, while likely be scratched for tonight’s game.
