About 24 hours after getting in a punching match with the St. Louis Blues and ultimately coming up short after an incredible effort, the Minnesota Wild are hosting the San Jose Sharks for a little bit of a tune-up.
Tyson Jost will be missing this one after getting some bruises, so Connor Dewar will be playing in his place. And all of Jon Merrill, Jordan Greenway, and Matt Dumba are still missing from the lineup with their respective injuries. Certainly a significant blow to the physicality of this team, so we shouldn’t take these results too hard just in case they come out pointless.
