Status report
The Wild did not hold a morning skate following a 6-3 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday. Wallstedt will likely start after Gustavsson made 27 saves. … Dach will return after missing 31 games with a broken foot (Nov. 15). … Texier, a forward, is day to day and will not play. … Struble will replace Xhekaj, a defenseman, who will be a healthy scratch.
