Greg Zanon News

That’s it for now. Only lineup decision we need to know is the D to be scratched. Wild’s on the ice now, but I’ll update it after the skate. Greg Zanon’s been the scratch the past two.

Expect Zanon to draw back into the lineup tonight. He has a goal and three points over 23 games.

Greg Zanon practiced fully, as did Mike Lundin. Zanon hopes to be ready by the weekend, but it may be difficult for him to get into the lineup immediately if the Wild keeps winning and the defensemen keep playing great. Plus, he's missed a month and coach Mike Yeo said he's a "ways away." I'll write more about Zanon in Thursday's paper. One of his groin muscles tore completely off the bone. He painted us a picture, but I'll spare you those details.

Zanon holds no fantasy hockey value but is an excellent stay-at-home defender. Expect their shots allowed to decrease once he gets back into the lineup.

Zanon, Stoner both not skating today. Stoner blocked shot with hand, Mike Yeo said last night #mnwild

The Wild play tomorrow with both players highly unlikely to suit up. Expect the team to re-call a defenseman since they currently only roster five healthy d-men.
