Zach Bogosian is absent from the warmups due to an upper-body injury, leading to Jon Merrill replacing him in the third defense pairing for the Minnesota Wild. Marc-Andre Fleury makes his first start since Nov. 19. The team may need to address the absence by potentially acquiring additional defensive players for their upcoming trip. The Wild are also seen in North Stars uniforms, with Fleury wearing throwback yellow pads.
Zach Bogosian might be hurt, as well. He left practice early on Saturday and there was no update on his status, but Jon Merrill is with Goligoski today. #mnwild
Marc-Andre Fleury, in his first start since Sweden trip, was terrific with six saves on this last Blackhawks PP
Bogosian is out with an upper-body injury. If this keeps him off the trip, #mnwild may have to flip Vinni Lettieri for Daemon Hunt or Dakota Mermis. Teams don't like to go on 4-game trips without an extra defenseman and Wild can't afford 2 extra players right now
