Notes

  • Marc-Andre Bergeron may play, and as a result, the Wild reassigned defenseman John Scott to the Houston Aeros.
  • Reitz, Gillies and Boogaard are out.
  • Backstrom looks to avenge his only loss to Phoenix.

Questions to Answer

  1. Can the Wild offense turn around?
  2. Can this be a springboard to the second half?
  3. Will Backstrom avenge his only loss to Phoenix?
  4. Can Koivu or Brunette find the back of the net?
  5. Will PMB ever have a finisher on his line?

What on earth are Greenlay, Terhaar and Bombardir doing at some outdoor rink in Elk River? Are they not doing the game from the press box?

What on earth??

What are these refs watching? Turris ran Backstrom over all on his own and no call.

First penalty of the game at the 13:46 mark of the second period. Derek Morris, 2:00 for holding. Wild power play coming up.
