Minnesota Wild goalie Manny Fernandez's sprained left knee will keep him out of the team's first game after the All-Star break.
Fernandez stayed in Minnesota during the four-day All-Star break and skated to test the knee, which he injured in a game against Dallas right before the break. He practiced briefly on Thursday, but left when his knee stiffened up, coach Jacques Lemaire said.
