Josh Harding hopes to play despite MS
Josh Harding - G - Minnesota Wild
Nov. 28, 2012 - 11:25 PM ET

Josh Harding announced that he hopes to play despite dealing with multiple sclerosis.

Harding hopes it's "a little bump in the road" instead of a career-threatening ailment. The Minnesota Star Tribune's Michael Russo points out some of the problematic potential symptoms that could cause Harding issues: challenges with balance, fatigue and blurred vision. Harding, 28, may still be in position to push Niklas Backstrom for the Minnesota Wild's starting job after signing a three-year extension in June.
