Barring an unexpected setback, which can't be ruled out given the circumstances, the Minnesota Wild get a huge part of their offense back Wednesday.Marian Gaborik has been out 27 games with a "lower body injury". In those 27 games, the Wild are a very meh 13-13-1, and they have scored just 2.5 goals per game.
The "lower body injury" has finally been allowed to heal, and Trade Bait Gaborik is back on the ice for the Wild. He should be available Wednesday against Calgary. From the Star Tribune:
We've been talking about it for days. And now, pending a chat with coach Jacques Lemaire tomorrow morning, it definitely appears Marian Gaborik will play against the Flames.There was much rejoicing. Never before has a groin caused so much angst.
"I'm good to go for tomorrow," Gaborik said, noting he does still have to talk with Lemaire to be inserted in the lineup.
Lemaire has said since Gaborik began practicing with the team again last week that coming back will be Gaborik's decision.
"He looks fine," Lemaire said. "He's not in game shape, but he'll get there."
