Status report
The Wild could dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Eriksson Ek, a forward, and Spurgeon, a defenseman, each will miss a second straight game. ... Johansson, a forward, is questionable. ... Hunt, a defenseman, was recalled from Iowa of the American Hockey League on Monday and could make his season debut. ... Saad will make his season debut and play on the top line after his wife Alyssa delivered the couple's third child, a daughter named Lyra, on Thursday. ... To make room for Saad on the roster, Texier, a forward, was placed on injured reserve Monday. ... Kapanen, a forward, will be a healthy scratch.
