Minnesota Wild practices in new environment ahead of Pittsburgh game

Why not shake it up every now and then? The Wild tried out its new practice facility in downtown St. Paul for the first time before heading off to the final game before the All-Star break.

The Minnesota Wild has just a 6 p.m. tilt at the Pittsburgh Penguins standing between it and the All-Star break. And before the team took flight for Pittsburgh, it practiced in its new practice facility for the first time.

I'll have a more detailed story on that later on, but I just wanted to throw up a quick blog with an iPhone photo I took (I tried, OK?) and some random bits from practice.

Everyone was present and accounted for Wednesday at TRIA Rink at Treasure Island Center except winger Nino Niederreiter. He's out with a lower-body injury until after the All-Star break. The Wild's next game after that is Tuesday at the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Here were the lines:

Jason Zucker, Mikko Koivu, Mikael Granlund

Daniel Winnik, Eric Staal, Zach Parise

Kyle Rau, Charlie Coyle, Joel Eriksson Ek

Marcus Foligno, Matt Cullen, Tyler Ennis/Chris Stewart
