Minnesota Wild defenseman Brock Faber will make his season debut Saturday against the Boston Bruins, the team announced. The Wild list him alongside Quinn Hughes in their projected lineup.

Faber fractured his skull Sept. 25 when a shot from Dallas forward Sam Steel struck him near the ear in a preseason game. He had surgery two days later.

Faber, 24, scored 15 goals and had 36 assists in 80 games last season. He added 10 points in 11 playoff games. The Wild visit Boston at 7 p.m. ET Saturday.
