Nick Bjugstad Stats

Minnesota Wild forward Nick Bjugstad will replace Mats Zuccarello (lower body) on the first line Sunday against Nashville. Minnesota also reminds without Marcus Foligno (COVID-19 protocols) and Jordan Greenway (upper body), so Bjugstad makes a jump from the third line to the first. It's a very cozy spot for him, as Kirill Kaprizov has kept Minnesota's first line red-hot all season. Bjugstad boasts just 12 points in 53 outings this term, but he has previously had a couple of very decent offensive seasons and should fit nicely on the line.
