Blog from the Wild beat writer whose name I don't want to speak right now. ;p
The Wild may suddenly have a goaltending dilemma.
With the Wild prepping for an important two-game homestand against divisional foes Colorado and Vancouver, goalie Jose Theodore is questionable to practice Thursday due to "lower body soreness," GM Chuck Fletcher said.
Theodore was examined by doctors Wednesday afternoon and the team will know more Thursday.
Goalie Niklas Backstrom is expected to be shut down for at least the next four or five days with a strained hip flexor.
If Theodore can't start against the Avalanche on Friday, that leaves Anton Khudobin, who's 2-0 in three NHL appearances (one start).
The Wild, which has lost two in a row, didn't practice Wednesday.
*********************
He also had to back out of his public appearance tonight. Feel better soon, Theo!!
José (Jo-say) Theodore (Thee-uh-dore) was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 1994 and played with them until March of 2006, winning the Hart and Vezina Trophies in 2002. He spent two and a half seasons with the Colorado Avalanche. José signed with the Washington Capitals in July 2008 where he played the next two seasons. He was awarded the Masterton Trophy in 2010. He played the 2010-11 season with the Minnesota Wild, and then played 2 seasons with the Florida Panthers.
