Could Hunter Haight Be the Wild’s Unexpected Star This Season?
For his second preseason game of the year, Haight was on the third line as the center. He played great against Dallas and was the team’s second line center on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
With the goalie pulled and down two goals, the Wild had Haight on the ice. He was on the ice over Yurov and seemly has been impressing the Wild.
“Yeah, I thought he’s had a strong camp,” Wild head coach John Hynes said on Sunday. “He’s got good hockey sense. I think his competitiveness jumps out at you. He’s been able to produce in a couple games and he seems like a pretty versatile player. He’s a right-shot center and he’s done a pretty good job on the penalty kill. He’s had some power play time too, so he’s done well.”
