CHICAGO -- Because of a lower-body injury suffered in Game 1, fourth line forward Justin Fontaine will be replaced in the Wild's lineup for Game 2 Sunday night.
Fontaine was evaluated by team doctors Saturday, but coach Mike Yeo only disclosed the injury as, "one of those things that could be day-to-day or it might be a week."
Fontaine will be replaced by one of four forwards, but Yeo opted against revealing who will take his lineup spot.
The coach did say he's hoping the Wild play a faster style in Game 2, perhaps a sign that speedy Erik Haula or Jordan Schroeder, both former Gophers, could draw in.
