Minnesota Wild to get major boost ahead of Game 3

The Minnesota Wild are looking to get back on track tonight when they bring in the rival Dallas Stars for Game 3 of their opening round Stanley Cup Playoffs series into the friendly confines of Xcel Energy Center. 

And while it was thought that the team would continue to be shorthanded as they had been through the first two games, there's some good news to be shared. Forwards Joel Eriksson-Ek, who has been absent since April 6, along with Ryan Hartman, who missed Game 2 with a lower body injury, are both on the ice for the pre-game warmup.

Additionally, former Stars defenseman John Klingberg, who has yet to play so far in the postseason, is taking part in the warmup as well.
