Josh Harding impressed the Minnesota Wild coaching staff in a scoreless scrimmage yesterday. Harding tore his ACL and MCL in a preseason game against the Blues on September 24th last year and was lost for the season."Just to be back competing with the boys, it's been a long time since I've done that," Harding said. "Still working out some kinks, but ... it's holding strong." The 2003 WHL Goaltender of the Year has been talked about for years, and if finally healthy, will be ready to take on a bigger role should Backstrom falter. Look for Harding to get into 20-25 games if healthy, and more if Backstrom gets inured. Harding is nothing more than a handcuff for Backstrom owners.
