The Wild are getting healthier as Joel Eriksson Ek will return to the lineup Friday. Jordan Greenway and Brandon Duhaime should also return and potentially Alex Goligoski as well.

But the big news of course is that Kirill Kaprizov is practicing today and Dean Evason expects him to be in the lineup Friday unless something unforeseen occurs between now and then.

The light schedule with all of the postponements for now are working un the favor of the Wild as Joel Eriksson Ek for one will have been out for 25 days by the time the Wild lace them up on Friday, but will uave into missed three games. That is just crazy when you try to comprehend that, but either way the Wild lineup will look much more like an NHL roster than the one we saw steal two points against Washington on Saturday night.

Update: Montreal has claimed Rem Pitlick after the Wild placed the winger on waivers yesterday. Pitlick scored six goals and 11 points in limited action over 20 games. That was highlighted by his hattrick in Seattle back on November 13th.
