Charlie Stramel, Hunter Haigth Face Final Audition As Wild Take On Stars

The Minnesota Wild face the Dallas Stars on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center for their third preseason game. Prospects Charlie Stramel and Hunter Haight will both feature in the lineup for what is likely their final opportunity to impress the coaching staff prior to roster cuts. Stramel will center a line with Mason Shaw and Tyler Pitlick, while Haight will skate between Riley Heidt and Justin Kirkland.

Neither prospect is expected to secure a spot on Minnesota's opening-night roster, but both have received extended looks during training camp. Jesper Wallstedt is scheduled to start in goal for the Wild, while the Stars will counter with a veteran-heavy lineup that includes Jamie Benn, Miro Heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Radek Faksa, and Jake Oettinger.
