Wild Warmup: Minnesota at Los Angeles

After a chaotic two weeks, the Wild will be a little shorthanded in Tuesday's game, with five players still on the COVID-19 protocol list: Forward Victor Rask, Defensemen Jonas Brodin, Brad Hunt and Carson Soucy, and Goaltender Cam Talbot. Defenseman Jared Spurgeon is also still recovering from an upper-body injury.

Eight players have been removed off the list and added to the active roster, including three new players, Nick Bonino, Ian Cole and Nico Sturm, on Monday.

Additionally, the Wild activated forward Matt Zuccarello and defenseman Matt Dumba from Injured Reserve on Monday afternoon.

Calen Addison will likely make his NHL Debut.

Kaapo Kahkonen will get the start in net for the Wild.

This guess is as good as any for the lines:

Lets Go Wild!

Addison tonight, let’s go! I want 2 apples for #59, and a hat-trick for Fiala in tonight’s L.

 

[BagHead]

9pm, huh? With that lineup? I think I may end up falling asleep for this one.

 

[HotDish]

That blue line will be something to behold.

While the lineup is obviously not full strength, it's definitely good enough to compete with LA and Anaheim. Will be good to see Kahkonen in net again to see what he's got. Fiala will score.

 

[Wild4Cup]

Yay we play again! That D though is something else.

 

[123TripleDoge]

oof, should be interesting

 

[EXTRAS]

The Kahk-man Cometh! Go buddy!

 

[Victorious Secret]

Even if it's a skeleton crew, I'm excited to see some new names.

 

[Coachcorner]

Interesting to see what the big fella Greenway can do on the powerplay sire. I heard rumors and talk on the streets is he has trained the powerplay units big time. Man that guy is a force to be reckonized.

I hope the Wild fare better then the COVID-19-depleted Buffalo squad that hadn’t played in two weeks. They looked like they ran out of gas against the Islanders last night.

We barely have a defense in the lineup, so i'm not hopefull.

 

[Wabit]

I don't sub to the Athletic, but this might interest those that do.

 

[brainfreeze]

His name is Calen Addison, you killed his father, prepare to die.

 

[Prior]

Should be an L.

Not sure about the trend of all the youngsters coming into the league with staches that are NSFW but growing on me. Like that the flow is coming back though.

Tonight.

 

[Webster]

So let's hope Zuccarello scores a lot. He'll donate at least $2,000 (with partners) per point he scores for the rest of his career to charity, to kids who can't afford to play hockey or other sports. I think Russo will pick up this story a little later.

 

[TheSauceBoss]

Regardless of the outcome, I'm just excited to watch Wild hockey again.

 

[Wild11MN]

I'm excited to see Addison.

 

[57special]

I am hoping Mayhew goes off

 

[66-30-33]

Pens fan here...good luck with Addison tonight! Why is he top pair?

Lack of options in the d-corps. MN has Suter and Dumba as NHL d-men, the other 4 are AHL players.

I see, well good luck.

The pan shot of the bench looks like a preseason game.

 

[Wabit]

Walz in the booth. I didn't miss that.
