Backstrom The Minnesota Wild lineup will be missing some familiar and
important names on Sunday when the club wraps up a three-game road
trip against the Colorado Avalanche. After Niklas Backstrom tweaked
his groin during Saturday's practice, the Wild recalled goaltender
Nolan Schaefer to serve as Josh Harding's backup.

Backstrom isn't the only Wild player hampered with a cranky groin.
Pavol Demitra will miss his third straight game with a strained
adductor, which is basically a groin injury. Marian Gaborik, who has a
history of groin problems will also sit out.

Judging from the mood of Wild President and General Manager Doug
Risebrough, none of the injuries are considered to be serious.
