The Minnesota Wild team's hopefuls are looking to make a name for themselves this preseason

The Wild have made just one round of cuts halfway through their preseason, but the training camp hierarchy is taking shape.

The players were split into two practices on Saturday, with NHLers (plus a few newcomers) in one group and most prospects and minor league players in the other group.

That breakdown wasn't officially announced, but it showed where the Wild's depth chart is trending ahead of the Oct. 10 season opener against Columbus.

“Not everyone can make the team,” said coach John Hynes. “But everyone can make an impression.”

After not feeling like he had reached his potential at the start of training camp, Liam Ohgren finally got going in his second preseason game on Friday.

The winger took advantage of the Wild's 8-5 win over Winnipeg after a poor performance two nights earlier in Dallas.

“Obviously I didn't feel too good in the first game, so I just wanted to play a little bit simple, get the pucks deep and go to the net,” said Ohgren, who after four games will be fighting to stay in the end of the last one Season. “Of course I scored a goal and that always boosts confidence. So it was better.”

Unlike Ohgren, Riley Heidt has no option to move to the minors: He must play with the Wild or return to his junior team in the Western Hockey League.
