Youngblood, again. So where is Russo, you ask? We’re listing him as day-to-day.

 After a day off the Wild had an intense but relatively short practice, one several players missed, which brings us to today’s injury update:

1. Derek Boogaard left practice early with back spasms. He is day to day.

2. Kurtis Foster, who took a puck near his right eye Saturday, has a hairline fracture in his face. But he can play as soon as the swelling subsides. He is listed as possible for Wednesday, probably for Friday.

3. Josh Harding (head) and Petteri Nummelin (head and nose) will try to skate Tuesday.

4. Mikko Koivu’s left leg hasn’t healed enough for him to do any skating on his own. He has been limited to some weight lifting and working out on a stationary bike.

The good news is that Pavol Demitra had another good practice and should play Wednesday,.

And, on a sad note, Wild president and general manager Doug Risebrough’s mother, Marie Risebrough, succumbed to cancer Saturday in Ontario. Services are Thursday.
