Line Change
Donato will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday.
Donato played just 6:59 TOI last night and has produced just two helpers in 11 games this season, so with Kevin Fiala healthy, the Wild won’t hesitate to change up a losing lineup.

Greenway (upper-body) will return to the Wild lineup on Tuesday.
Greenway has missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered vs. the Oilers last Tuesday but will play tonight in Dallas. Greenway, who has five assists in nine games this year, will return on the fourth-line with Victor Rask and Ryan Donato.
Greenway (upper-body) will not play Thursday.
Greenway travelled to Nashville for Thursday's game but woke up "not feeling well" which has led to speculation that he could be dealing with a concussion. Victor Rask will draw into the lineup for Greenway, who will have some time to recover before Minnesota's next game, which doesn't come until Sunday.
Greenway (upper-body) travelled to Nashville but is questionable to play Thursday.
Greenway was forced to leave Tuesday's win over the Oilers with an upper-body injury and did not return. It was a tough break for the young power forward, who had two assists in just 4:54 TOI before departing for the dressing room. Greenway has now collected five assists in his last five games.
Mangiapane (undisclosed) will return to the Flames lineup on Tuesday.
Mangiapane has missed the last two games but will play Tuesday vs. the Capitals. Mangiapane has scored in back-to-back games and is averaging nearly two shots per game despite playing just 10:54 ATOI in eight games this year.
Cole (hip) will make his season debut on Monday.
Cole has missed the first four games of the regular season but will replace Mark Barberio in the lineup on Monday. Cole had 15 points (2G / 13A) in 71 games last season.
Cole (hip) has been cleared to play but remains questionable for Thursday’s game.
Cole skated on the third pair at Wednesday’s practice and has officially been cleared to play. However, head coach Jared Bednar said they haven’t made a decision on whether or not he will play vs. the Bruins.
Cole (hip) was cleared for contact on Monday.
Cole is on injured reserve as he recovers from offseason hip surgery but he is nearing his season debut. Cole was on the ice for Monday’s practice and was cleared for contact. Look for Cole to potentially be inserted into the Avalanche lineup at some point this week.
The Flames have re-signed Andrew Mangiapane to a one-year contract worth $715K.
Mangiapane spent most of his time in the NHL in 2019, scoring eight goals with five assists (13 points) in 44 games with the Flames. Mangiapane will likely be reserved to a fourth-line role, with Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Tkachuk and Milan Lucic ahead of him on the depth chart.
The Avalanche have signed Bowen Byram to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Byram was picked No.4 overall this summer after scoring 26 goals with 45 assists (71 points) in 67 games with the Vancouver Giants. Byram was considered the most NHL-ready defenseman in the draft but could be one-year away from cracking the Avalanche lineup in 2020.
The Wild have re-signed Ryan Donato to a two-year contract worth $3.8M ($1.9M AAV).
The Wild acquired Donato in the Charlie Coyle trade and the Harvard grad picked up 16 points (4G / 12A) in 22 games with Minnesota after the trade. The 24-year-old has gifted hands and middle-6 potential but his position to start 2020 is uncertain. He had a strong showing to end last season but the additions of Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman will likely push him down the depth chart and maybe to the AHL to being the year.
The Panthers have signed Dominic Toninato to a one-year contract.
The Blues have signed Derrick Pouliot to a one-year, two-way deal.
The Panthers have acquired Dominic Toninato from the Avalanche for Jacob MacDonald.
Toninato, who appeared in 37 games with the Avalanche in 2017-18, played in just two NHL games last season. The 25-year-old had 14 goals and 15 assists (29 points) in 57 AHL games and has a chance to crack the Florida roster as their fouth-line centre in 2020.
With the No.13 Pick in the 2019 NHL Draft the Florida Panthers select Spencer Knight.
With the No.4 Pick in the 2019 NHL Draft the Colorado Avalanche select Bowen Byram.
Pouliot will draw back into the Canucks lineup on Sunday.
Pouliot will be a healthy scratch for Thursday's game against the Coyotes.
The Wild have acquired Ryan Donato and a conditional 2019 fifth-round pick from the Bruins for Charlie Coyle.
Donato was a highly touted prospect coming out of Harvard University. The 22-year-old was picked in the second-round (No.56 overall) in 2014 and dazzled Bruins fans in a 12-game stint after turning pro late last season. However, Donato struggled to find his way this season, scoring just six goals with three assists (nine points) in 34 games. Since then he has been in the AHL, where he has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 18 games with Providence but could replace Coyle on the big-club as the Wild continue to push for a playoff berth.
Bertuzzi (concussion) will return to the Red Wings lineup on Saturday.
Bertuzzi has missed the last seven games with a concussion but will play Saturday in Philadelphia. Bertuzzi could replace Frans Nielsen, who is questionable due to an illness. Bertuzzi has 13 goals and 15 assists (28 points) in 49 games this season.
