Josh Harding has been placed on the injured reserve list as he needs an adjustment in his medication for multiple sclerosis. Harding is expected to return on December 27 as the adjustment in his dosage was expected. "This is not a major situation at all," GM Chuck Fletcher said. "This didn't come out of the blue. I've been talking to Josh for a while about this. He needs to make an adjustment in his protocols, and now is a good time to do it [with the Dec. 24-26 holiday break on the horizon]. He feels good. He played well [Tuesday] night, but it's just something that has to be taken care of." Harding has been the top fantasy goaltender this season in the NHL with an 18-5-3 record, a scintillating 1.51 GAA and a .939 save percentage. Niklas Backstrom will likely start the next three games.

Josh Harding is now tied for second place among NHL goalies with 18 wins alongside Ben Bishop and Antti Niemi. Harding's Wild beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 (SO) on Tuesday. He's 18-5-3 with a .939 save percentage and 1.51 GAA on the season.

Josh Harding will start against Vancouver on Tuesday. The Wild had a scare during Tuesday's practice when Harding was struck by a shot close to his throat. He skated off the ice, but it wasn't long before he rejoined his teammates.

Josh Harding made 26 saves in the Wild's 2-1 shootout win over the Avalanche on Saturday night. Harding gave up a goal in the second period and that was it. Over his last five games, he has four wins. For owners who took a chance on him earlier this season, he's been an absolute steal and isn't showing any signs that he's going to fold as a number-one fantasy netminder. He's unlikely to finish the year with a 1.49 goals-against average and .939 save percentage, but he should be plenty productive.

Josh Harding will start in goal Saturday night against the Avalanche. He is coming off a hard-luck loss to Anaheim Wednesday night in which he stopped 29 of 31 shots.

Josh Harding turned aside 29 of 31 shots in Minnesota's 2-1 loss to Anaheim Wednesday evening. Harding, who entered the game with an NHL-leading 1.50 goals-against average, was brilliant in keeping Minnesota in the game. He made a remarkable glove grab midway through the second on what appeared to be an open net for Teemu Selanne, who is trying to end an 18-game goal-less streak. Harding still has an impressive 16-5-3 record with a 1.52 goals-against average and .938 save percentage. He is the number one goalie at Minnesota and he will start most of the games for the Wild.

Josh Harding will start for the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday. It will be Harding's sixth start in the Wild's last seven games. He's been one of the NHL's top goaltenders this season with a 16-4-3 record, 1.50 GAA, and .938 save percentage in 24 games.

Goaltender Josh Harding made 37 saves in a strong home outing Sunday to help the Minnesota Wild beat the San Jose Sharks 3-1. Harding, who improved to 13-1 at home, is 16-4-3 overall. He has an NHL-best 1.52 goals-against average and a.938 save percentage, and he moved into a second-place tie with San Jose goalie Antti Niemi and Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury for most wins. It was the second straight game Minnesota allowed a high number of shots. The team was outshot 41-20 in a 4-0 loss at Columbus on Friday. Harding didn't play in that game, and he was more than up to the task against the Sharks. He was at his best in the second period, stopping 21 shots, including quickly getting his glove up to rob Joe Pavelski on a slap shot from the left circle. The Sharks had just six shots in the third period.

Josh Harding is projected to start on Sunday against San Jose. It would be Harding's fifth start in six games. He has a 1.52 GAA and .935 save percentage in 23 contests in 2013-14.

Josh Harding didn't experience his best game, but was fortunate to earn a victory in a 4-3 win over Chicago Thursday. Harding has earned the ability to have a bad game once in a while, but the fact he got a win out of it lessens the blow. His record improves to 15-4-3 with the win while his GAA is now 1.52 and his save percentage is .935.
