Look for Foster to get eased into the lineup on the third pairing. In 37 games, split between the New Jersey Devils and Anaheim Ducks, the offensive defenseman scored four goals and 14 points.
The Wild landed forwards Nick Palmieri and Stephane Veilleux, defenseman Kurtis Foster, a second round pick in 2012 and a conditional third round pick in 2013 from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for defenseman Marek Zidlicky.
Foster returns to the Wild -- where he previously played parts of four seasons. In 37 games, split between the Ducks and Devils, the offensive defenseman scored four goals and 14 points.
Foster is questionable to play this evening. In 28 games with the Devils, he scored three goals and 12 points. Expect Peter Harrold to draw in if he can't play.
