Early Wild practice update
Posted by: Michael Russo under Wild practice Updated: February 8, 2013 - 12:13 PM
The Wild, losers of three in a row and preparing to host Nashville on Saturday night, is back at practice this afternoon in Mendota Heights.
Zach Parise isn't practicing today. Perhaps it's a maintenance day, but I'll get an update after practice.
The lines today:
Bouchard-Koivu-Coyle
Heatley-Granlund-Setoguchi
Cullen-Brodziak-Clutterbuck
Rupp-Konopka-Mitchell
Defensemen:
Suter-Brodin
Stoner-Gilbert
Falk-Prosser
Marco Scandella is the extra playing D with forward Matt Kassian. So it looks like Prosser gets back in after being scratched in six straight.
