(Boston, MA) — The Wild are in Boston tonight to finish up their five game road trip. So far the Wild have wins in Chicago, Toronto and Montreal but fell flat on Saturday night in Ottawa when they got throttled 6-0. That stopped the Wild’s four game road win streak but they’ve still won eight of their last 11 away from St. Paul. While the team is still without leading scorer Kirill Kaprizov both defenseman Jonas Brodin and forward Marcus Johansson have rejoined the team and are expected in the line up tonight to wrap up the road trip. Brodin has missed the last 12 games with an upper body injury. He has played 31 games this season with four goals and 16 points. Johansson missed eight games with injury and has five goals and 16 points in 44 games. Puck drops at 6 P-M tonight from T-D Gardens.
While Brodin and Johansson are expected to return, the Wild found out on Monday afternoon that forward Ryan Hartman has been suspended for 10 games, without pay, for roughing Senators forward Tim Stutzle during Saturday’s 6-0 loss at Ottawa. The incident occurred at 19:44 of the second period. Hartman was assessed a match penalty for driving Stutle’s face into the ice on a face off. Hartman is considered a repeat offender under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement and, based on his average annual salary, will forfeit $487,804.90. The money goes to the Players’ Emergency Assistance Fund.
