Brock Faber Targets Saturday Return to Wild Lineup Following Skull Fracture

Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber expects to make his regular-season debut on Saturday against the Boston Bruins after recovering from a preseason skull fracture. Faber cleared return-to-play protocol in late October and resumed skating with teammates last week. While ruled out for Thursday's game in Toronto, the 24-year-old is traveling on the road trip. Faber recorded 15 goals, 36 assists, and 148 blocks in 80 games with Minnesota last season.
