Niklas Svedberg is getting the start tonight in the exhibition opener and will play two periods while Steve Michalek will get the third period.
There are not a lot of open positions on this Wild team, but the backup goaltender job is a real battle between Alex Stalock and Svedberg.
The other position battle taking place is the 6th and 7th defenseman position. Mike Reilly, Gustav Olafsson, Ryan Murphy, and Carson Soucy are battling it out.
Wild lineup: Foligno - Coyle - Ennis Winnik - Kunin - Stewart Malone - O'Reilly- Ferraro Rau - Kloos - Mitchell
