Heather Rule joins Steve Thomson ahead of tonight's Wild game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. They begin their conversation with the schedule quirk the Wild have had this season where they’ve spent so much time on the road. They have been playing well especially in the net and on the power play. Heather gives an update on the injury front which also seems to be turning a corner. Steve brings up the return of Brock Faber to Wild practice after sustaining a scary head injury in the preseason.
