ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) – Brock Faber was back at Grand Casino Arena Monday night as the Minnesota Wild<\/a> beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-2.<\/p>\n Progress for Brock Faber <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n Faber was a spectator, watching the game from the press box, typically a spot where the healthy players not in the lineup watch the game.<\/p>\n Monday night\u2019s events are an encouraging sign for Faber, as it was the first time he\u2019s watched the team since suffering a skull fracture in their preseason finale.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n It required surgery, and there is no timetable for his return. The fact that he\u2019s out in public is a sign that he\u2019s progressing.<\/p>\n Without Faber, the Wild is off to a 4-1-1 start.<\/p>\n Nico Sturm injury <\/p>\n The backstory:<\/p>\n Unfortunately for the Wild and Faber, they had to almost relive the same injury to another player early in Monday\u2019s game. Nico Sturm took a shot from Jared Spurgeon to the side of his head late in the first period, and went down to the ice in pain.<\/p>\n He left the game with an upper body injury, and did not return. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.<\/p>\n “Actually, the rink was like dead silent when that went on,” Wild coach John Hynes said. “You instantly go right back to that (Faber\u2019s injury). I think everyone in the arena felt the same way.”<\/p>\n The Wild on Tuesday placed Sturm on injured reserve. There is no timetable for his return.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n The Wild return to the ice Tuesday night, at the Winnipeg Jets.<\/p>\n Minnesota Wild<\/a>Sports<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
