Head coach Dean Evason provided us with an update after the game.
First, the good news is Middleton is all right to continue playing as the Wild head on a four-game road trip. Boldy’s upper-body injury will be further evaluated. But when it comes to Merrill, he will not make the road trip, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. Luckily, Minnesota already have Alex Goligoski waiting in the wings and Jordie Benn still on the roster to serve as an extra blueliner on the road trip. Still a lot of hurt.
