Alex Goligoski Rejoins Lineup On Saturday
3 years agoMinnesota Wild defenseman Alex Goligoski (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Penguins. The veteran blueliner has missed three games. Goligoski was paired with Jared Spurgeon at the start of the season, and he got off to a productive start with three assists, nine shots, five hits and nine blocks in six games. We can expect him to head straight back on the top defensive pairing, meaning Dmitry Kulikov has to drop down in the lineup. The team is also close to getting back winger Mats Zuccarello (COVID protocol). He could make his comeback in Sunday's home game against the Islanders.
