Brock Faber left the Wild's 2-1 preseason loss to the Dallas Stars on Friday after the second period after getting hit in the head with a puck. A shot from the point hit Faber with 9:36 left. He was down on the ice briefly before skating to the bench under his own power and returned for the next shift and played in the rest of the period. "Some of it was precautionary," Wild coach John Hynes said. "It's always a concern when you have a guy that you have to keep him out for precautionary reasons. But as I said, we don't know if it's anything major or not." The Wild open the season at the Nashville Predators on Thursday (8 p.m. ET; MINNHL, Wild+, SCRIPPS)
