The Wild are opting to go with a roster of just 22, instead of the allotted 23, keeping one extra forward and one extra defenseman just in case of injury or rotation in the lineup dependent on their opponent. In the process of finalizing their choice of players, they have also designated the injured Matt Boldy as an “injured non-roster player.”
The full roster for your approval:
Forwards
Nico Sturm, Joel Eriksson Ek, Rem Pitlick, Marcus Foligno, Jordan Greenway, Brandon Duhaime, Kevin Fiala, Nick Bjugstad, Mats Zuccarello, Ryan Hartman, Victor Rask, Frederick Gaudreau, Kirill Kaprizov
Defensemen
Jon Merrill, Jordie Benn, Matt Dumba, Jonas Brodin, Dmitry Kulikov, Jared Spurgeon, Alex Goligoski
