On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we look at the Wild's first version of their new defenseman rotation with Jacob Middleton ready to join the team ahead of their game against Vancouver. We look at who is sitting out, and why it shouldn't be expected to be a regular occurrence with plenty of opportunities to get players rest down the stretch. We also discuss Nic Deslauriers being the first one to welcome Jacob Middleton to town even though the two have been rivals for the last few seasons. This is a byproduct of their great team chemistry that only looks to have increased with their new acquisitions. We finish by talking about Marc-Andre Fleury with Jack Bushman of Locked on Blackhawks, and whether or not his numbers suffered on his own account or the Blackhawks' defense.
