After boasting so much about team depth lately, the Wild will put it to action today.
The Wild have a new fourth line this afternoon in Game 2 against the St. Louis Blues.
Justin Fontaine, who was a weird player to not practice in yesterday's very full optional practice, is listed as sick and won't play today. Sean Bergenheim is also out. No reason given, but he practiced yesterday and maybe he too is sick because he played well in Game 1 and was expected to play today.
GM Chuck Fletcher said yesterday that there was a bug going around the team, an illness that got Darcy Kuemper the other day.
Matt Cooke will play his 104th career playoff game and Jordan Schroeder will play his first. Kyle Brodziak will center that line.
Ryan Carter, Nate Prosser and Erik Haula are scratched.
