The Wild has no choice but to switch up its lineup for Game 4 against the Golden Knights.
Forward Marcus Johansson suffered a broken left arm during the Wild s 5-2 loss in Game 3 on Thursday at Xcel Energy Center, getting injured after crashing into the goalpost.
Johansson underwent surgery on Friday, an NHL source said, and there s no timeline for his return. He s clearly extremely disappointed but had awesome encouraging words about how we play and how we can play, said coach Dean Evason, who texted with Johansson on Friday morning. He s a big part of our team. Obviously, we lose his speed factor, a veteran presence. So, yeah, he ll be missed.
