The Minnesota Wild will likely be without Justin Fontaine for Game 2 of their second-round series against the Chicago Blackhawks.

Fontaine is not expected to play Sunday, head coach Mike Yeo said.

The winger left Minnesota's Game 1 loss in the second period with an apparent leg injury. Yeo said it's officially a lower-body injury and declined to reveal who will take Fontaine's place in the lineup.

The forward scored the eventual game-winning goal in Game 6 of the Wild's first-round series against the St. Louis Blues.
