Blues D Nick Leddy a game-time decision for Game 2 vs. Wild

St, Louis Blues defenseman Nick Leddy will be a game-time decision on Wednesday as his team prepares for Game 2 of its Stanley Cup playoff series against the Minnesota Wild. 

The veteran blueliner did not participate in morning skate on Wednesday, two days after he was injured taking a massive hit against the boards by Minnesota's Matt Boldy. The nature of the injury has not been made public.

With Marcus Scandella also sidelined, head coach Craig Berube told the press Niko Mikkola and Calle Rosen will pencil in the St. Louis' blue line. 

The Blues will certainly miss Leddy on their back end after how well he matched up against Minnesota's top line of Kiril Kaprizov, Ryan Hartman and Mats Zuccarello.

With the defense banged up, the Blues hope for another stellar performance from Ville Husso after he blanked the Wild on Monday night. St. Louis won Game 1 4-0.
