Minnesota Wild goalie Josh Harding will start Game 5 for Minnesota against the Blackhawks and Darcy Kuemper will back him up on Thursday night. Coach Mike Yeo announced the decision after Harding went through the morning skate. He left Game 4 on Tuesday following a collision with the Hawk's Jonathan Toews late in the first period.
