Summary
Brock Faber is expected to make his season debut Saturday against Boston, returning less than two months after surgery for a fractured skull suffered in Minnesota's final preseason game.
John Hynes said the 24-year-old defenseman is ready to play, though the Wild will manage his minutes as he is worked back into regular situations.
Hynes still expects Faber to contribute on both special-teams units, underscoring how quickly Minnesota plans to restore the top-pair blueliner to a major role.
Minnesota enters the game with a five-point lead over Nashville in the Central Division, giving the Wild a boost as they reintegrate a key defender into an already strong start.
