Bruce Boudreau sticks with reshuffled lines; Dubnyk's turn to rest?

Bruce Boudreau reshuffled his lines during Thursday's 6-4 comeback victory over Nashville and stuck with the newly assembled units for Friday's practice. The lines went:

Mikael Granlund-Mikko Koivu-Jason Zucker

Marcus Foligno-Erik Staal-Nino Niederreiter

Daniel Winnik-Joel Eriksson Ek-Luke Kunin

Chris Stewart-Matt Cullen-Tyler Ennis

"Yeah," Boudreau said, "and they may change in the first period of [Saturday's game at Washington]. … I tried Marcus [Foligno] on that [Staal] line about a week ago, and he didn't have very good games. But I wanted to give him a crack at it again, and I thought he came in and did a lot of good things."

The practice also offered hints that Alex Stalock could be gearing up to start in goal Saturday, with Devan Dubnyk getting a chance to rest after making eight consecutive starts.

On Stalock, Boudreau added, "We know what he can do. I mean, he practices hard every day, so it's not a worry about anything of rust or anything when he goes in the net."

The Wild flew to the nation's capital right after practice. On Saturday night, Boudreau's team will face a Washington squad coming off losses of 6-3 (to Nashville) and 6-2 (to Colorado).
