Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
Niklas Backstrom, who missed Wednesday's game against Nashville due to a personal matter, is practicing today, which means he'd be available to start Friday vs. the Edmonton Oilers.
The Wild has beaten Edmonton 17 consecutive times at home.
Backstrom is 20-2-1 with a 1.66 GAA, a .938 SV% and four shutouts in 25 starts against the Oilers…At home he is 15-0-0 with a 1.19 GAA, a .954 SV% and four shutouts.
Remember, the faceoff is 3 p.m. (originally 1 p.m.) to get out of the exclusive NBC TV window.

The Vikings, who have sought to mirror the approach San Francisco has had for years, have now beaten the 49ers twice in 11 months.
