Status report
The Wild did not have a morning skate after losing 4-3 at the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. … Wallstedt is expected to start after Gustavsson made 21 saves against the Hurricanes. … Zuccarello was activated off injured reserve and could make his season debut after missing the first 15 games because of a lower-body injury. He had taken part in the morning skate Thursday, and coach John Hynes said then that Friday could be possible.
