"Wild practice today was surprisingly upbeat at Xcel Energy Center after Tuesday night's collapse in a 5-4 loss to Nashville.

Most newsworthy thing was probably Guillaume Latendresse (concussion) taking a slight step backwards and being held out of Wednesday's practice. Latendresse did not travel with the team.

Greetings. Kent Youngblood here. I was at practice while Russo made his way towards Denver.

Wild coach Mike Yeo ran a fast-paced practice that felt almost relaxed in its tone. Perhaps that's by design, after the disappointing way the team finished its game with Nashville last night, blowing a 4-1 lead in a 5-4 loss.

Yeo's theme in practice today was taking the positives out of the first 50 minutes of the Nashville game and not dwelling on the final 10 minutes of said game."
