XCel Energy Center @ 7:00

For the Montreal perspective, check out Habs Inside/Out
Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
Montreal Canadiens |
| Miettinen - Koivu - Brunette Veilleux - Belanger - Bouchard Clutterbuck - Sheppard - Mojzis Weller - Pouliot - Gilles Burns - Schultz Bergeron - Skoula Johnsson - Zidlicky Harding Backstrom |
Tanguay - Koivu - Latendresse Komisarek - Markov |
NOTES:
- Hey, guess what? Still no Gaborik!
- Are we possibly seeing next season's second line center in Saku Koivu?
- Saku Koivu will go head-to-head with younger brother Mikko of the Wild on Thursday for the third time in an NHL game. Saku has two assists in the two previous meetings while Mikko is scoreless in those contests.
Questions to Answer
- Can they shake off the hangover?
- Which AK will have the better night?
- Will Josh Harding continue building on a decent outing?
- Can anyone outside the AMA line produce any pressure at all?
- Will Alexei Kovalev's hair prove to be the difference maker we all know it can be?

Bad play by Clutterbuck
Horrible mistake by Clutterbuck led to that goal. He tried to make a huge hit, lost his footing, lost his stick, and his man was able to keep the play alive.

Ouch
Miettinen just got RUN at center-ice. He groggily gets off the ice. No word yet.

Man, Montreal is fast. They are really fun to watch.

Miettinen back on the ice. WOW, huge stop by Harding there. Probably shouldn’t have been a loose puck, but he made a good recovery less than 5 seconds ago from web

I see why Boogaard was a healthy scratch tonight. He would have been useless out here. These guys are WAY too fast

Oh man, Pouliot needs to put that one home!

Man
Once again, the AMA line is putting on all the pressure. They need Gabby in a big way.

Brent Burns has swapped with Mojzis. Burns will be playing forward and Mojzis back at D

Wild penalty. 2:00 bench minor for too many men on the ice

Burns on D for PK in addition to his forward duties tonight.

Uh-oh. Burns took a shot off the instep. He hobbles off the ice. Not.Good

Now Kostoplous took a shot and is limping, but he can’t get off the ice.

Held Mikko’s stick, not Brunette’s. Saku has no chance to stop Mikko, he’s WAY too big and strong.

Wild lose 2-1. Not a good showing my Minnesota. This game proves exactly why they need to get Marian Gaborik back on the ice.
