HockeyFeed
Following last night 4-3 loss against the New Jersey Devils, the Minnesota Wild were back to work this morning. Unfortunately, one top 4 defenseman and 2 top 6 forwards were missing :
Jonas Brodin (3-13--16)
Eric Staal (15-24--39)
Charlie Coyle (13-22--35)
Eric Staal and Charlie Coyle were both playing on the first line lately and chemistry was operating as they registered 6 points in the last 5 games .
While there's no timetable for Staal and Coyle yet, Jonas Brodin is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 weeks with a broken finger.
