Gaborik to play tonight.


This is what the Minnesota Wild are missing from their line up. If you read the news it appears that Marian Gaborik is going to play on Wednesday night. Hey Gabby it is about time you showed up for the party the Wild have had trouble scoring and need your help.
Gaborik plans to play for Wild on Wednesday
AP - Dec 16, 5:38 pm EST NHL Gallery ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP)—Wild fans have grown so frustrated with Marian Gaborik’s contract status and 27-game absence that mentions of his name over the Xcel Energy Center speakers have brought boos a couple of times this season.

Minnesota’s star right wing should find out how the customers feel on Wednesday night. Gaborik declared himself “good to go” to face the Calgary Flames and, pending final consultation with coach Jacques Lemaire, will appear in a game for the first time since Oct. 14.

The next day, he hurt part of his lower body—presumably that long-problematic groin muscle, though the team won’t specify injuries anymore— which made his future with the Wild even more uncertain. Gaborik’s contract expires this summer, and negotiations on an extension broke off before he was hurt. Attempts by the team to trade him have predictably hit a wall.

With the Wild struggling to score, their 76 goals being the fewest in the Western Conference, Gaborik and his All-Star offensive skills have been missed.

Their losing streak is at five games, and they’ve scored five goals during that span
