Marian Gaborik is scheduled to be back on the ice tonight vs. Edmonton. Gaborik has been plagued by a nagging groin injury that has kept him out of the line up since November 3rd. The Wild has only won ONE time since he has been out. The Wild need Gaborik on the ice, yes he makes plays, but it is more than that. There is almost some magical power Gabby has over the team that prevents them from winning in his absence. It's almost like a psychological superstition. If Gaborik is the four leaf clover of the Minnesota Wild then he better get back on the ice right away because the Wild need all the help they can get.
