Cooke will suit up on Saturday for Game 2 of the Wild's first-round playoff matchup with St. Louis, Chad Graff of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Earlier indications seemed to suggest Cooke would sit out Game 2, but he felt healthy enough Saturday morning for coach Mike Yeo to change that plan. Cooke hasn't played since Feb. 1, and has been plagued by injuries for much of the season. He leads the Wild in career playoff games (103), and will add a veteran presence to Minnesota's lineup.
