Status report
The Wild held an optional morning skate Friday. ... Boldy, a forward, and Merrill, a defenseman, each skated Thursday but each will miss his fourth straight game. ... Dumba was injured during a 6-2 loss at the Nashville Predators on Tuesday and the defenseman will not play; he remains on the trip and the injury is not as severe as the Wild initially thought. ... Benn will replace Dumba after being a healthy scratch the past 19 games. ... Talbot will make his eighth start in 12 games. ... Kyrou is not expected to play, but coach Craig Berube did not rule him out after the forward missed the Blues morning skate Friday. ... Krug, a defenseman, and Bozak, a center, each took part in the morning skate but will not play; there is no timetable for either to return.
