Wild goaltender Josh Harding left tonight's exhibition game with 6:23 left in the first period after St. Louis Blues forward Brad Boyes accidentally fell on his right leg. Harding was in visible pain and could put no weight on the leg after he left the ice.
He's been replaced by Matt Hackett.
Harding underwent surgery to repair the labrum in his right hip in April. I don't want to guess, but I'm fairly certain this injury isn't to his hip. He'll be evaluated tomorrow in Minnesota, and hopefully I can get more information after the game.
GM Chuck Fletcher said it looked to him like a knee. They'll find out how bad tomorrow.
More later.
