The Minnesota Wild are gearing up for a three-game road trip, starting with a match against the St. Louis Blues. Joel Eriksson Ek and Jonas Brodin have returned to practice after injuries, boosting the team's morale.
Despite Mats Zuccarello's continued absence due to surgery, Eriksson Ek's return allows for a powerful line with Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy, who previously excelled together. Coach John Hynes is optimistic about their potential to reignite the offense.
Filip Gustavsson is set to start in goal, showcasing impressive stats this season, while Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to play during the trip. The Wild aim to capitalize on their recent practice improvements as they face a struggling Blues team.
