G Josh Harding backed up G Niklas Backstrom on Thursday against Vancouver after missing three games with a sore hip. The Wild returned third goalie Anton Khudobin to AHL Houston.

Harding (legs) stopped all four shots he faced after replacing Niklas Backstrom late in Thursday's loss to Vancouver.
Recommendation: Backstrom should be back in net and get the bulk of starts despite an off night where he allowed four goals, but this performance shows Harding is over his recent leg soreness which required the Wild to briefly call up Anton Khudobin from the AHL.
