There was a big question mark for the Wild in the hours leading up to a do-or-die Game 6 on Friday night at Xcel Energy Center.Asked about his lineup after morning skate, Wild coach Dean Evason hinted that the group might have to work through an absence. “We think everyone’s available,” Evason said. “You never know.”As the Wild took the ice for warmups ahead of the big game against the Dallas Stars, they did so with their full complement of players emerging from the tunnel. That gave the coaching staff creative license to shake some things up if they felt so inclined.In the end, though, Evason stuck to the status quo for the most part.After playing with the idea of putting his lines in a big blender with the Wild on the brink of elimination in the first-round playoff series, Evason instead decided only to make subtle changes to the top half of the lineup.Ryan Hartman centered Kirill Kaprizov and Marcus Johansson; Freddy Gaudreau centered Matt Boldy and Mats ...Simeon Woods Richardson is a tough-luck loser as Saints fall to Red Wings 2-1
