Both Josh Harding and Mikael Granlund appear to be question marks for tonight’s game according to the Star Tribune’s Michael Russo.
Mikael Granlund not on the ice for #Mnwild warmups at Winnipeg. He missed practice yesterday but Mike Yeo said it was a "maintenance day"

With no Granlund, #mnwild will have to go with 7 D. I'd assume Coyle centers second line, either Nino, Pominville, Fontaine go to top line

Not in Winnipeg, but I'm being told something's wrong with Harding in warmups; questionable if he starts now #mnwild

So, in summary, if Harding’s out, the Wild will be rolling with a goalie that has just one practice and a few shots under his belt since sustaining a concussion. There is no backup if he’s starting, meaning…if he goes down, someone’s got to strap on the pads in his place. This could be interesting, buckle up.
