Injuries to Ryan Hartman, Vladimir Tarasenko and Marco Rossi have Wild juggling lines

A leap into the boards is Marcus Foligno’s trademark. The Wild forward copied the goal celebration made famous by his father, Mike, during his NHL career before it was passed down to Foligno’s older brother, Nick, who’s currently captain of the Chicago Blackhawks.

So, if you had to do a double take when Yakov Trenin vaulted off the ice after scoring his first goal of the season Sunday night against Vegas, that’s totally understandable.

“I thought that was me jumping into the glass at first,” Foligno said. “I thought I was having an out-of-body experience.”

Considering how in-sync Foligno and Trenin’s line with rookie Danila Yurov has been, matching hops makes sense for the two, whose forechecking form alongside Yurov’s support has epitomized the Wild’s self-discovery during their 6-1-1 revival.

“When those two guys get in and bang and crash in the offensive zone, [Yurov’s] a smart player where he finds good ice,” coach John Hynes said. “When they get puck retrievals in the offensive zone, he’s usually in good spots where they can pop it to him, and then there’s usually a next play.”

Yurov even has the face to fit in with the Wild’s most physical duo, the 21-year-old wearing a black eye and seven stitches on his cheek after getting clipped by a high stick last weekend against Anaheim.

“It’s fine now,” said Yurov, who figured he would get the stitches removed after the Wild wrap up their homestand Wednesday night against Carolina.

The recent rash of injuries at center means the Wild need Yurov next to Kirill Kaprizov and Mats Zuccarello, the biggest opportunity to date in Yurov’s young NHL career.

“They’ve been doing well,” Hynes said. “[But] the circumstances force us to have to make some changes.”

Fortunately for Yurov, what made him click with Foligno and Trenin should also serve him well on the top line.

His role as puck carrier is key to getting up ice with speed, and the direct style that fuels a forecheck is also vital to confounding defenses with Kaprizov and Zuccarello’s creativity.

“He’s gotta be a guy that’s going to get on the inside, too, when you play with those guys,” Hynes explained. “So, it’s more playing his game that gives him a chance to be successful but not get caught up in trying to force plays to those guys.

During the 3-2 overtime win over the Golden Knights, Yurov began skating with Kaprizov and Zuccarello after Ryan Hartman left the game.

Hartman has a lower-body injury and will be out week-to-week. The Wild are already down centers Marco Rossi (lower body) and Nico Sturm (back), but Sturm did practice Tuesday at Tria Rink in St. Paul. So did defenseman Zach Bogosian, who has been sidelined since blocking a shot Oct. 17 at Washington.

Hynes expects Sturm and Bogosian to be healed up in the next week or so. After hosting the Hurricanes, the Wild play three in a row on the road leading up to Thanksgiving.

Vladimir Tarasenko also practiced with the team Tuesday but exited early. He sat out the past two games with a lower-body injury.

Trenin will move from the wing to center, a position he previously played with Colorado, and the shuffle gives Yurov a chance to show more of his range in his first season with the Wild after coming over from Russia.

In his return Nov. 7 at the New York Islanders, Yurov scored his second goal, and he picked up his first career assist on Trenin’s goal vs. Vegas. There’s less time and space to make plays in the NHL, and Hynes believes Yurov is getting used to that style.
