Niklas Backstrom tested his injured knee on Friday.
Backstrom, who sustained a knee strain during Tuesday's game, reported that "it's not normal yet" after participating in an optional skate. The Minnesota goaltender is hoping to be able to suit up for at least one game in the Wild's four-game road trip that starts Monday.
