Wild’s Nico Sturm Injury Update Reminds Teammates of Brock Faber

The Minnesota Wild already lost Brock Faber in the preseason to a scary head injury. On Monday night, Nico Sturm went to the ice after a similar play. The Wild were playing at home, and they were on their way to a 4-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights. This moment, though, brought fear back to the table with the memory of Faber’s injury so fresh in their minds. Faber took a deflected puck to the head during the preseason and sustained a fractured skull.
