ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Wild will have a special
pregame tribute to the late Derek Boogaard later this
month. The team says Boogaard's family will be at the Xcel Energy
Center for the November 27th game when the team shows a tribute

supported. Boogaard died in May from a mix of alcohol and
painkillers.

with the rival Green Bay Packers.
