Minnesota Wild players report for training camp Thursday (on ice for the first time Friday), and this afternoon the team sent out its training-camp roster. Thirty-five players are on it, with several other additions coming soon from the current Traverse City prospect tournament.
The team will hold an open practice at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. Fans can enter through Gate 1 beginning at 8:30 a.m. There will be concessions available. Single-game tickets go on sale at the box office at 10 a.m.
The first exhibition game is one week from today in Winnipeg.
I'll be on KFAN in-studio Tuesday at 10:15-10:55 a.m.
