Back on the Ice
Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber has resumed practicing with the team. The 24-year-old is working to regain strength and conditioning after being cleared by doctors.
Injury Recovery
Faber suffered the fractured skull during a preseason game on Sept. 25. He required surgery after the injury worsened. Last season he posted 51 points across 80 games while ranking among the league leaders in ice time.
Team Situation
The Wild sit atop the Central Division with 25 points from an 11-3-3 record. Captain Jared Spurgeon has missed the last seven games with a lower-body issue and will rejoin the club on the road along with forwards Marcus Foligno and Nick Foligno, each absent for a month with upper-body injuries, plus goalie Filip Gustavsson, who continues recovering from hip surgery.
