Spurgeon, who has missed the past 13 games with a broken foot, might return against the Flames. Spurgeon didn’t take part in a regular pairing during Friday’s practice, but the Wild made sure to get him plenty of reps. “I thought he looked really good moving the puck and showed no problems whatsoever working in the D zone,” coach Mike Yeo said. If Spurgeon returns, Keith Ballard would be the likely scratch.
Spurgeon will test his foot on Friday when he takes part in a contact practice. They will see how he responds tomorrow before they decide if he plays on Saturday. He has been out since January 2 with a foot injury.
