The Minnesota Wild face the Florida Panthers on Saturday night with both Foligno brothers out of the lineup, Rieger Lorenz potentially making his NHL debut and several changes to their forward combinations.
The Minnesota Wild visit the Florida Panthers on Saturday at Amerant Bank Arena looking to rebound with a shorthanded lineup. Minnesota enters the contest with a 2-1-1 record, while Florida remains undefeated in regulation at 2-0-2. The Wild are dealing with injuries to Marcus Foligno, Nick Foligno, Brock Faber, and Zach Bogosian, prompting roster adjustments and the anticipated NHL debut of forward Rieger Lorenz on the fourth line.
Minnesota has shuffled its forward combinations, placing Matt Boldy and Joel Eriksson Ek alongside Kirill Kaprizov on the top line. Boldy is seeking his first point of the season against a Florida team he has tallied 10 career points against. Jesper Wallstedt is the projected starting goaltender for the Wild, while Jacob Markstrom is expected to start in net for the Panthers.
