Here are the projected lineups for the Wild and Panthers on Saturday night at BB&T Center:

WILD

Zach Parise - Mikko Koivu - Jason Pominville

Dany Heatley - Kyle Brodziak - Justin Fontaine

Matt Cooke - Mikael Granlund - Nino Niederreiter

Torrey Mitchell - Zenon Konopka - Stephane Veilleux

Ryan Suter - Jonas Brodin

Jared Spurgeon - Marco Scandella

Clayton Stoner - Mathew Dumba

Josh Harding

Niklas Backstrom

Injured: Keith Ballard (upper body), Charlie Coyle (knee), Mike

Rupp (lower body)

Scratches: Nate Prosser

Notes: Ballard will miss his third consecutive game after being hit in the chin by a puck against Buffalo on Monday. Yeo, however, declined to classify the injury as a concussion. Yeo said that Coyle, who is on injured reserve and has missed the last six games, is "getting closer, but he's still a ways away."

PANTHERS

Tomas Fleischmann - Aleksander Barkov - Brad Boyes

Jonathan Huberdeau - Marcel Goc - Tomas Kopecky

Scottie Upshall - Scott Gomez - Kris Versteeg

Shawn Matthias - Nick Bjugstad - Jesse Winchester

Brian Campbell - Tom Gilbert

Dmitry Kulikov - Mike Weaver

Matt Gilroy - Erik Gudbranson

Tim Thomas

Jacob Markstrom

Injured: Ed Jovanovski (lower body), Sean Bergenheim (lower body), Steve Pinizzotto (lower body)

Scratches: Ryan Whitney, Krys Barch

Notes: The Panthers are back to two goalies on the roster after veteran Scott Clemmensen was loaned on Friday to the San Antonio Rampage of the American Hockey League. Bjugstad will be playing his first NHL game against Minnesota after starring in that state in high school and college. Bjugstad was named Minnesota's Mr. Hockey in 2010 after his last season at Blaine High School and played the last three years at the University of Minnesota.
