(St. Paul, MN) — Day three of Minnesota Wild training camp will bring with it the first preseason game as tonight the Wild host the Chicago Blackhawks. It will be mostly a younger line up featuring rookies Charlie Stramel and Riley Heidt but will also have some vets like Nick Foligno and Nico Sturm on the ice. New guys will include Ollie Mattaa on defense and the starting goaltender is Calvin Pickard who is expected to open the season backing up Jesper Wallstedt while Filip Gustavsson recovers from injury. The Wild and Blackhawks will face off at 7 P-M tonight from Grand Casino Arena.
