Jared Spurgeon is only 23 years old, but he's the oldest player on the Wild's second power-play group.

"The big vet," coach Mike Yeo called him.

Much of the attention regarding the Wild's power play has been on the team's first unit, which features the potent top trio plus Dany Heatley and Ryan Suter.

The second group will feature the youngest players on the roster: Charlie Coyle, 21, Nino Niederreiter, 21, Mikael Granlund, 21, Spurgeon and either Jonas Brodin, 21, or Mathew Dumba, 19.

Despite the lack of experience, Yeo said he's pleased with the way that power play grouping has looked.

"They've got all the elements to be good. To be really good," Yeo said. "They've got puck-moving ability, they've got hockey smarts out there, they've got guys who can shoot the puck, and big bodies around the net. So as far as I'm concerned, there's no reason why they shouldn't be a factor and a force out there on the power play."

There have been other units in the NHL as young as the Wild's second grouping -- Yeo mentions Edmonton's young skill players -- but not many.

"Certainly experience helps when you're going on the power play," Yeo said. "I guess that's the one thing that that group is missing. But they're out there for a reason because of some other things. There are a lot of different pieces that seem to fit there."
