Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber will make his season debut Saturday night against the Boston Bruins after missing the start of the season while recovering from a fractured skull.
Faber sustained the injury Sept. 25 during a preseason game against the Dallas Stars. He underwent surgery two days later and was initially ruled out indefinitely. He returned to practice Nov. 6.
"It's great. It's exciting. I'm really excited," Faber said after Saturday's morning skate. "Hopefully just step in and keep this thing rolling."
The 24-year-old is coming off a strong 2025-26 season, recording 51 points (15 goals, 36 assists) in 80 regular-season games. He added 10 points in 11 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Wild head coach John Hynes said Faber has worked hard to get back into game shape and that his return is a boost for the team.
"What he brings on the ice is tough to replicate," Hynes said.
The Wild host Boston at 6 p.m. Saturday.
