Wild's Mike Reilly: Makes 23-man roster

Reilly has made the Opening Night roster for the Wild, Dan Myers of the team's official site reports.

Analysis:

Reilly has little NHL experience, but he proved his worth this preseason and beat out Gustav Olofsson for the final defensive spot in the opener. The 24-year-old is projected to pair up with veteran Kyle Quincey as the third-rotation blueliners. Reilly has struggled with his defensive game in his first two seasons in the pros, so being paired up with a veteran will hopefully acclimate him to the speed of the game at its highest level.
