Status report

The Wild could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. … Eriksson Ek, a forward, and Spurgeon, a defenseman, each will miss a second straight game. … Johansson, a forward, is questionable. … Hunt, a defenseman, was recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Monday and could make his season debut. … Saad will make his season debut and play on the top line after his wife Alyssa delivered the couple’s third child, a daughter named Lyra, on Thursday. … To make room for Saad on the roster, Texier, a forward, was placed on injured reserve Monday. … Kapanen, a forward, will be a healthy scratch.
