Trade Buzz: Penguins could seek help up front after injuries

Welcome to the NHL Trade Buzz. There are 23 days remaining until the 2018 NHL Trade Deadline (3 p.m. ET, Feb. 26). Will the Pittsburgh Penguins' plans change due to recent injuries? Will the Minnesota Wild opt to move one of their young defensemen?
Here's a look around the League at the latest deadline doings:

Pittsburgh Penguins

The Penguins are 10-3-0 since the start of 2018 and are second in the Metropolitan Division, four points behind the Washington Capitals, entering their game at the New Jersey Devils on Saturday (7 p.m. ET; MSG+2, ATTSN-PT, NHL.TV). But a couple of injuries could alter their plans.
Forward
Patric Hornqvist
was injured in a third-period collision with Washington Capitals defenseman
Brooks Orpik
in the Penguins' 7-4 victory on Friday. He didn't make the trip to Newark, but coach Mike Sullivan said Saturday he doesn't expect Hornqvist's injury to be long-term.
Pittsburgh is already missing forward
Conor Sheary
, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury and was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Sheary had been playing on the first line before he was injured Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks.
On Wednesday, general manager Jim Rutherford told 93-7 The Fan in Pittsburgh that, "we're always trying to make the team better, and I'll continue to do that right up until the deadline."
The Penguins have gotten great contributions from others including
Bryan Rust
, who has three goals and two assists in his last four games. But depending on how much time Hornqvist misses, the Penguins could look to add forward depth before the deadline.

Minnesota Wild

Will 24-year-old defenseman Mike Reilly still be part of the Wild after the trade deadline? Reilly has been rotating in and out of the lineup with fellow defenseman Gustav Olofsson on the third defensive pair. He played 12:53 and had an assist in the Wild's 5-2 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday. Prior to that, he was a scratch in 10 of 12 games. Olofsson, 23, has played in 10 of the last 13 games.
Reilly told Michael Russo of the Athletic on Thursday that he feels one of the two may be traded.
"The reality of the situation; it's going to be one of us. When I talk to [coach] Bruce [Boudreau], I know at the beginning of the year they didn't want us sitting 'X' amount of games, six, seven games in a row," Reilly said. "But now it's at that point where I think (Olofsson) just played the last six and I played the eight in a row (in December). It sounds like they just want to go with one guy because it's not fair to us, not fair to the team. Bruce wants to set this lineup. That's the message I got."
The Wild (28-18-5, 61 points) entered Saturday owning the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. They play at the Dallas Stars on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; FS-SW+, FS-N, NHL.TV).
