After playing shorthanded Tuesday, Wild will be eligible for emergency help

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 08:18:00 GMT

MONTREAL — The Wild’s early injury issues got so bad on Tuesday that they got a little bit better.Because veteran defenseman Alex Goligoski joined Jared Spurgeon and Matt Boldy as players sidelined by injuries, the Wild will play today’s 6 p.m. puck drop against the Canadiens short-handed, with just 11 forwards.That’s because after calling defenseman Dakota Mermis up from Iowa before this trip, the Wild had roughly $51,000 of cap space on Tuesday. The good news is that on Wednesday — a day after playing shorthanded — the Wild will be able to call up a forward and, under the NHL’s emergency rules, not have it count against the salary cap.Furthermore, the Wild can pay that player $100,000 over the league minimum of $775,000, and it must be a forward — the position the Wild will be short on Tuesday at Bell Centre.“It is what it is. We’ve got to deal with it. We’re not the only team in the league that’s doing it,” head coach Dean Evason said. “We’ve talked about this before; the cap sit...
