After skull fracture, Brock Faber will return to the Wild on Saturday
Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber will make his season debut Nov. 14 against the Boston Bruins. He missed the first 21 games after fracturing his skull during a preseason game.
The Minnesota Wild, currently tied for the league lead with 32 points, will see a key player return to the lineup on Saturday. Brock Faber, who missed the first 21 games of the season due to a fractured skull sustained during a preseason game, has been activated from injured reserve. Faber, a 24-year-old defenseman, will make his season debut against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.
He played a crucial role in the team's recent success, setting career highs with 15 goals and 51 points last season while leading the penalty kill. Faber's return is welcomed news alongside the team's strong start, having gone 8-0-2 in their last 10 games. However, the team has yet to decide the lineup for the game, with potential pairings including Hughes/Spurgeon, Brodin/Faber, and Maata/Bogosian.
