Wild's Hanzal honoring Bill Masterton with throwback warmup jersey

Martin Hanzal will don a vintage Minnesota North Stars jersey prior to the Wild's tilt against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday in honor of Bill Masterton, the only player to die from injuries suffered during an NHL game.

At the end of every season, the NHL hands out the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy to the player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.

The Wild, of course, replaced the North Stars years after the latter moved to Dallas.
