The Wild debuted a different look when it returned to the ice Monday, just as it did in its last practice before the team dropped to 0-2 on the season.
But whether these new combinations will remain intact for the team's next game Thursday against the Jets is unclear.
"We don't know what the lineup's going to be," coach Bruce Boudreau said.
Center Eric Staal missed the session, taking a maintenance day to heal an undisclosed issue.
"I thought this was a good time for him to have a day off to get what's ailing him completely better," Boudreau said. "He's going to be fine. He's played through it. It's just that he's playing not 100 percent. I thought with these three days off it'd be something that he could get through."
Boudreau is hopeful Staal returns to practice Wednesday and is available Thursday.
Staal has zero points and has recorded only one shot while sitting a team-worst minus-5. The 34-year-old called his performance in the season-opening 5-2 loss to the Predators "brutal," a game in which he and his linemates were on the ice for three goals against.
But Boudreau said Staal was better Saturday, when the Wild lost 4-2 at Colorado.
