Harding (neck) was activated from injured reserve, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Recommendation: Matthew Hackett was sent to Houston of the AHL, so Harding is ready to return as Niklas Backstrom's backup. Harding will likely get his next start in one of back-to-back games that begin Monday.

With news of the Koivu shoulder injury having him out 4-6 weeks, there is speculation that the Wild could be trading for a top-six skater. Russo has said that they need to either call up a player to fill Koivu's void or make a trade. Also, stating that GM CF has been burning up the phone lines.

GM CF has stated that he will not trade anyone from their prospect pool unless it makes sense and will help them in the future. So if a trade is done it will most likely be for a rental player this year. Someone I would like to see is Tuomo Ruutu from Carolina. Russo says that he is good friends with Koivu and I think he would replace the role and than some of Latendresse, who is out with a concussion currently.

Also, the forward lines in practice today were:

Heatley - Cullen - Johnson
Powe - Brodziak - Seto
McIntyre - Peters - Clutterbuck
Wellman - xxxx - Staubitz

ugh, Carson McMillan recalled.

Man, the Wild were in a tough spot eh? According to Twitter updates all three of the Wild's goalies were sick with the flu lol. Definitely what they didn't need considering how bad the team has been over their past 15 or so games.

Yeah very unfortunate but hopefully the team starts consistently showing some fight in them like their last game in St. Louis. Even if they don't win tonight, I hope they show they want to battle for each game because that is the only way they will make the playoffs.

The Wild won their last two games in a row before the All-Star break, which was the the first time in a long time since being atop the league standings.

The MN Wild recalled Chad Rau, Matt Kassian, and Jed Ortmeyer again who will all most likely play tomorrow for the Wild because they were in the lineup previously for their two game winning streak. The reason for their call up in the first place was to bring in fresh blood with a positive mental attitude.

PMB is still out with a concussion but Lats has resumed skating and practice. Koivu is skating and shooting but hasn't resumed practice and is still "week-to-week" for now. I will also assume that Zidlicky will be another healthy scratch since he was during the two game winning streak.

Line Combos from previous game and most likely for tomorrow:

Heatley-Brodziak-Johnson
Clutter-Cullen-Seto
McMillan-Powe-Peters
Kassian-Rau-Ortmeyer

Spurgeon-Schultz
Prosser-Faulk
Stoner-Zanon

Still not sure on who will start in net tomorrow tho.

Haha, just a mini sidenote but it's interesting to see how much I've learned from this site over the past year and a bit. Before I joined this site I would have recognized four of the guys that you mentioned in the top 12/top6

Haha, yeah same here. That's not a pretty lookin' roster right now.

From Russo via Twitter:

Also, Harding starts tomorrow against Nashville.

Here is some info. on Zidlicky's feelings of being scratched and how he has been used this season:

Look for him to most likely be traded if not soon than definitely before the deadline.
