Could We See Some Lineup Changes For The Wild In Game 6?
ST. PAUL, Minn - The Minnesota Wild held an optional skate this morning ahead of its Game 6 matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights.
Marcus Foligno was on the ice with just his skates, gloves and his stick shooting pucks before the scratches came on the ice to get some work in.
Wild head coach John Hynes said that all signs point to Filip Gustavsson starting tonight after leaving Game 5 with an illness.
Marc-Andre Fleury who came in for the third period and overtime, was on the ice this morning with the scratches so it looks like Gustavsson will start.
Hynes said this morning he has not made and final lineup decisions and will wait and see after the guys got their work in on the ice.
But the guys on the ice were the normal healthy scratches. Vinnie Hinostroza, Liam Ohgren, Devin Shore, Declan Chisholm and Zeev Buium were on the ice with Fleury.
So, it looks as if the Wild will be rolling the same lineup for Game 6 as they did in Game 5. The lines could be different but the players look to remain the same.
Hynes didn’t want to reveal any lineup changes but Buium, Ohgren, Chisholm, Shore and Hinostroza are skating with Fleury right now. So probably the same lineup tonight.
