NOTES:
- This is the first trip to San Jose since Kurtis Foster had his leg broken.
- Nolan, Burns, and Mojzis are all listed as day-to-day. Gaborik is on injured reserve and has missed eight straight games.
- Lemaire says this league is made up of Detroit and San Jose, then everybody else.
- The Sharks haven't lost to the Wild since a 4-1 defeat at home on Oct. 21, 2006
- Krys Kolanos' equipment and sticks didn’t show up from Houston, so he couldn’t practice
- NHL All-Star ballots are now available. Gaborik, Koivu, Burns and Backstrom are all on the ballot. Go stuff the box!
Questions to Answer
- Lemaire conceded the game already. Did the team?
- Can the team stay healthy tonight?
- Will the Wild put the Power back in power play?
- Is it possible for half of the shots tonight to be generated by someone not named Antti, Andrew or Mikko?
- Can Kolanos make an impact tonight? He has the touch in Houston so far.

NHL All Star Ballots, Winter Classic
Usually I really don’t pay attention to the All Star Game stuff, but this year for some reason I’m strangely super excited for all of it. I reaaaaally want to see Mikko make the roster this year, and Backs definitely has a BIG shot at goalie. But do you think that Gabby still has a shot at garnering enough votes if he continues to not play??
:side note: make sure you vote for Spezza for the East :-)
And the Winter Classic jerseys have been released. They’re too perfect for words. And I want to go to the game, but we have one the night before here, and the NYE game is one of the best of the year…decisions, decisions.
