After Brock Faber fractured his skull, @JoeSmithNHL has the latest on the injury and how the Wild will divide up Faber's minutes. https://t.co/GayTQ0rMd1

@RussoHockey · 9/28

Brock Faber will open season on injured reserve retroactive to last Friday. So Wild Dman will miss Thursday’s season opener but theoretically could be activated as early as Saturday’s home opener. David Spacek and Charlie Stramel have made initial roster.

Wallstedt on if he would have wanted the goalie interference call Saros got: : "It’s such a hard question for me because obviously. Right now, right here, I would say I did not think it was goalie interference. But I was thinking about it out on the ice: If that was in my shoes, if it was the other way around, I would probably want goalie interference. So I think it’s 50-50. Obviously, as a goalie, I like seeing more goals getting called back than not, but obviously today it hurt us. I also like them trying to protect goalies and not making us a free play when we’re in the crease."

Marco Sturm said the #NHLBruins have to decide whether Matt Poitras will travel with the team to Winnipeg/Minnesota. First day back on the ice today, and Sturm said that he needs reps: "End of the day, I want him to have success. And to have success, I do believe he needs some reps, and he needs some really good practice."
