From Brian Stensaas in for Russo:
Big news out of Wild practice today. Barring any setbacks, Marian Gaborik said he feels he will return to the lineup Sunday afternoon against Edmonton.
Gaborik will travel with the team to New Jersey this afternoon. But he said playing tomorrow night against the Devils is unlikely. Instead, he’ll wait for the Oilers.
"We’ll probably shoot for Sunday’s game," Gaborik said after an hourlong practice this morning. "Hopefully everything will progress. Hopefully I’ll be more pain free each day and go from there."
God help us, I think the Devil just put on a winter jacket, because hell is about to freeze over! He actually remembers he plays hockey for a living? Impressive in itself.
