In addition to welcoming back Brock Faber, the Minnesota Wild were joined by veterans Marcus Foligno, Nick Foligno, and Jared Sprugeon at today's practice. Joel Eriksson Ek was absent due to maintenance but will be in the lineup on Friday.

Minnesota Wild defensemen Brock Faber and Jared Spurgeon, along with forwards Nick Foligno and Marcus Foligno, returned to practice as the team approaches full health. Head coach John Hynes confirmed that Faber and Spurgeon will not play this weekend, though Faber is scheduled to join the team for their upcoming road trip. Meanwhile, center Joel Eriksson Ek missed practice for maintenance but is expected to play against the San Jose Sharks.
Nick Foligno fully participated in practice and is considered a game-time decision alongside Marcus Foligno, who shared practice rotations with Tyler Pitlick. Spurgeon is progressing from a lower-body injury suffered on October 27. The Wild begin a three-game road trip next Tuesday with matchups against the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Boston Bruins.
