Wild unveil new makeshift forward lines with absences

The Minnesota Wild are actually going to play a hockey game tonight! It’s incredible! And to make it all that more interesting, head coach Dean Evason and his crew of coaches got together to try out some new forward lines against the Dallas Stars.

There’s some familiarity in here, but overall it’s a new look for the 12 dudes.

Projected forward lines:

Kaprizov - Hartman - Zuccarello
Foligno - Eriksson Ek - Fiala
Duhaime - Gaudreau - Bjugstad
Pitlick - Sturm - Rask

The top line stays the same — and that’s kind of the easiest decision to ever make, especially the way that Hartman is playing with those two offensive wingers.
