The Wild are used to digging themselves out of a hole and it looks as though they will have to overcome some more adversity.
The Minnesota Wild be without forward Justin Fontaine for Game 2 of their second-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks. The winger left Minnesota's Game 1 loss in the second period with an apparent leg injury.
Fontaine is not expected to play Sunday, head coach Mike Yeo said.
Yeo said it's listed officially as a lower-body injury. Yeo also declined to identify who will be replacing Fontaine in the lineup.
The forward scored the game-winning goal in Game 6 of the Wild's first-round series against the St. Louis Blues and has played well in the playoffs thus far.
Let's hope he gets back soon.
