Dean Evason has thrown the lines into the blender again and he spit out the one constant that he has had in his Wild coaching tenure. The Joel Eriksson Ek, Jordan Greenway, Marcus Foligno line will be reunited.
Kevin Fiala will play with Ryan Hartman and Mats Zuccarello while the struggling Kirill Kaprizov will slide in on the third line with Victor Rask and Freddy Gaudreau. Nico Sturm, Rem Pitlick, and Brandon Duhaime make up the fourth line.
The offense has to start clicking for the Wild top end talent but the line blender unfortunately will be a constant until a true playmaking center enters the mix.
Tonight Ryan Suter makes his return to the State of Hockey and much like Zach Parise last week will for sure receive a very warm welcome and ovation for his outstanding time he spent in a Wild sweater and as part of the community here in Minnesota.
Tuesday was a wakeup call for the Wild and tonight we get to see just how that alarm clock worked...
It's always Hockey Day in The State of Hockey!
