The Wild practiced with the team they will take into the regular season opener this morning, a roster that includes rookies Liam Ohgren, Marat Khusnutdinov and Jesper Wallstedt.

NHL teams have until 4 p.m. CDT to finalize their 23-player rosters but this is the team Minnesota will ice when they play host to Columbus in a 7 p.m. puck drop Thursday at Xcel Energy Center.

For now, the Wild will carry three goaltenders, rookie Wallstedt, Filip Gustavsson and Marc-Andre Fleury. That is likely to change at times this season as the Wild use roster space to accommodate their schedule.

The Wild start the season with a pair of home games Thursday and Saturday, then play their next seven on the road, the rest of their October schedule.

Ohgren, the Wilds first-round pick in the 2022 entry draft (19th overall), made his NHL debut last spring after his professional team in Sweden was bounced from the playoffs. A 6-foot, 188-pound wing, he had a goal and assist in four games.
