Another Key MN Wild Player Falls to Injury
The Minnesota Wild's injury problems got even worse Tuesday night, and this time it's a player they can't easily replace.
Minnesota Wild forward Nico Sturm suffered a head injury during Monday's 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights and is currently in the process of being evaluated for his long-term status. The team also announced that captain Jared Spurgeon will not play against the Jets on Tuesday due to a previously undisclosed upper-body injury.
Spurgeon was seen skating off the ice after getting hit by a shot from Jared Spurgeon during Monday's game, and assistant athletic trainer Travis Green checked on him before the game. Despite playing through the injury, Spurgeon still logged 23:32 of ice time and blocked three shots. The Wild's defense pairing adjustments continue to be a topic of discussion as they navigate through their injury crisis.
