The Minnesota Wild and New York Islanders meet tonight in New York as both teams aim to regain momentum. The Wild travel to UBS Arena to face the Islanders in a crucial matchup.
Scratch: David Jiricek, Danila Yurov, Tyler Pitlick
Injured: Nico Sturm (back), Zach Bogosian (lower body)
“Wallstedt is expected to start after Gustavsson made 21 saves against the Hurricanes.”
The Wild did not hold a morning skate following their 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. Mats Zuccarello could return this game after missing the first 15 due to a lower-body injury. He participated in Thursday’s morning skate, with coach John Hynes indicating Friday as a possible return.
Both teams look to bounce back as Minnesota tests its lineup changes and injury returns against a strong Islanders squad at UBS Arena.
