Keith Ballard & Christian Folin Still Out
Both Keith Ballard and Christian Folin missed Thursday’s game against the Coyotes with some illness. The Wild announced today that, after both missed practice today, they will not be in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Yeo says neither Ballard nor Folin will play tomorrow, both still under the weather. #mnwild

The tandem was slated to be the third defensive pairing against Arizona as coach Mike Yeo continues to swap four players in and out of the third pairing. They were replaced by Matt Dumba and Nate Prosser — a duo who looked good at times and a little panicked at others. The Prosser-Dumba duo will be the third pairing again on Saturday.
