Wild's Brock Faber Back on the Practice Rink
Coach John Hynes said doctors cleared Brock Faber to skate as the Wild await a return timeline for the defenseman after surgery.
- Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber returned to the ice at the TRIA Rink in full practice uniform on Wednesday, marking his first skating session since suffering a skull fracture in late Sept.
- Faber has been sidelined since late Sept after a deflected puck hit him near the left ear during an exhibition loss to Dallas, requiring surgery to repair the fracture.
- Coach John Hynes noted last week that doctors cleared the blueliner to begin skating, and video showed Faber shooting and smiling alongside teammates currently rehabbing injuries.
- The Wild, tied with Edmonton for the Western Conference-best position, have relied on younger players David Spacek and Matt Kiersted while captain Jared Spurgeon remains out of the lineup.
- Further updates on Faber's potential return to play are expected Thursday when the team practices ahead of back-to-back games Friday and Saturday at Grand Casino Arena.
