It s his turn to go, coach Dean Evason said.
That ll be the only lineup change for the Wild, as forward Marcus Johansson remains out with an upper-body injury.
The last time the Wild and Kings faced off was the Wild s first game back from a COVID-19 shutdown, a 4-0 loss Feb.16 in Los Angeles.
Not only has the Wild improved since then, getting its roster healthy and scoring 20 goals during its season-long four-game win streak, but the Kings are rolling, too.
They ve won six in a row. Trip s over, Evason said. Yeah, we had a good road trip. So what? It s behind us. We talked to the group this morning already about the drop of the puck tonight. For whatever reason, the first game back after a road trip there seems to be a lull. If coaches could figure it out, we d know why. If players could figure it out, it would never happen.
