New fourth line for the Wild today

Stephane Veilleux will play for the Wild today

May 5, 2013 at 4:42PM

We will get Mike Yeo in 15 minutes, but I am hearing the Wild will have a new fourth line this afternoon.

Zenon Konopka won't play and Stephane Veilleux will be inserted. The goal is clearly speed, energy and big hits.

Veilleux, called up twice in the past few weeks but scratched in both games, has played 460 regular-season games in the NHL and 11 playoff games for the Wild.

The Gophers played with more urgency, but it wasn’t enough to keep them from another conference sweep, and they lost LJ Mooney to injury in the process.
