 Josh Harding-G - Wild Nov. 13 - 8:00 am et  

It still has not been decided if Josh Harding will start in Friday's game against the Thrashers.
Number one goalie Niklas Backstrom made 19 saves on 22 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday night and it is unclear if he will get the nod again. If Harding gets the call it will be his first start since October 16th. In his previous two starts, he has not fared well posting an 0-2 record with a 5.50 goals-against average and a .738 save percentage. Stay tuned.

Niklas Backstrom made 19 saves on 22 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
The defeat broke a two-game winning streak for the Wild goaltender, but now he has not lost in regulation in his last three games. He allowed two goals on two shootout attempts. Backstrom's record stands at 7-8-1.
 Niklas Backstrom-G - Wild Nov. 12 - 2:18 pm et

Niklas Backstrom could start play in both of Minnesota's games on Thursday and Friday.
Backstrom will play between the pipes on Thursday and coach Todd Richards hasn't ruled out the possibility of him playing again on Friday. Richards said he'll make his decision after Thursday's game, so Backstrom's performance will probably be a factor in his decision. If Backstrom is given Friday off, backup Josh Harding will play in between the pipes.
