At Friday’s morning skate ahead of the evening matchup against the Arizona Coyotes, a couple of long-missed Minnesota Wild players were seen taking line rushes for the first time in a while: forwards Ryan Hartman and Marcus Johansson.
Hartman has been out of the lineup with a lower-body injury since March 1st, when he left a game early against the Vegas Golden Knights. Johansson hasn’t been seen on the ice since February 18th when he sustained an upper-body injury against the Anaheim Ducks.
