Jonas Brodin - Could play Thursday Brodin (lower body) will miss Saturday's tilt versus St. Louis, but could return for Thursday's game against San Jose, according to Jessi Pierce of NHL.com.
Impact Brodin is progressing according to coach John Hynes, and with the Wild off until Thursday after Saturday's home game against St. Louis, he remains a possibility to be ready to play. Brodin has seven goals, 16 assists and 121 blocked shots in 51 games this season.

Joel Eriksson Ek - May play Saturday Eriksson Ek (lower body) is questionable to play Saturday against the Blues, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.
Impact Coach John Hynes said after practice Friday, that Eriksson Ek was a possibility Saturday. Eriksson Ek skated during practice, but he remained on the bench when the Wild partook in line rushes. He has 29 goals and 60 points in 66 games, one off his career high in points set last season. Eriksson Ek will be replaced on the top line by Marco Rossi, if he is unable to play.

Blues play the Wild following Neighbours' 2-goal performance
The St. Louis Blues visit the Minnesota Wild after Jake Neighbours scored two goals in the Blues' 5-2 win against the Ottawa SenatorsMARCH 22 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ryan Hartman - Racks up penalty minutes Hartman was handed 16 penalty minutes in Wednesday's 6-0 defeat to the Kings.
Impact Hartman landed a few punches on Los Angeles' Pierre-Luc Dubois before the duo was separated, with both players getting game misconducts in addition to roughing penalties. Offensively, the 29-year-old Hartman has been rather productive of late, notching three goals and two assists, including a pair of power-play points, in his last six outings.

Filip Gustavsson - Solid in relief outing Gustavsson stopped 10 of 11 shots in relief of Marc-Andre Fleury in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Kings.
Impact Fresh off his shutout win over the Ducks on Tuesday, Gustavsson put in another solid showing, though the Kings eased up after a strong start. Gustavsson remains at 18-15-4 with a 3.15 GAA and an .897 save percentage through a career-high 40 games this season. With Fleury starting to falter under a heavier workload and Gustavsson playing better, it's possible the playing time starts to normalize for the Wild again.

Marc-Andre Fleury - Chased from Wednesday's loss Fleury gave up five goals on 16 shots before he was relieved by Filip Gustavsson in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Kings.
Impact Fleury was done in by a few bad bounces, though the Wild didn't do very well in the second half of a back-to-back. The 39-year-old has now lost his last two outings following a four-game winning streak. Gustavsson shut out the Ducks on Tuesday, but it's unclear if recent play will lead to any changes in the Wild's goaltender usage, which had started to tilt more toward Fleury in March. He's at 16-12-4 with a 2.79 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 35 appearances this season.

Jonas Brodin - Undergoing MRI Brodin (lower body) will have an MRI on Wednesday but reportedly hasn't damaged his ACL, per Michael Russo of The Athletic.
Impact Brodin will face a tight timeline to recover with just a month remaining in the regular season. While the 30-year-old blueliner hasn't been officially ruled out for any contests yet, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect him to play versus the Kings on Wednesday. With Brodin out of the lineup, both Dakota Mermis and Alex Goligoski should be in contention for regular minutes.
