Wild's Jared Spurgeon: Won't suit up for Saturday's contest
Spurgeon (upper body) won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Devils.
Analysis:
The 5-foot-9 blueliner missed practice Friday after exiting Thursday's game against Toronto with an upper-body injury, so his absence Saturday shouldn't come as much of a surprise to his owners. The Wild have a quick turnaround, as the team is scheduled to take on the Islanders on Sunday evening, meaning Spurgeon may be in danger of missing back-to-back games. The diminutive defender's owners can expect another update on his status ahead of Sunday's matchup.
