Tonight's lines:

NOTES:

• Mikko Koivu has the Wild’s only goals in 148:12, dating back to defenseman Erik Reitz’s third-period goal Nov. 15 vs. Columbus.
• Koivu is the lone Wild forward to be credited with a goal in 172:24, dating back to Benoit Pouliot’s first-period PPG Nov. 15.
  The Wild skated, skated, skated on Friday, hopefully to get the lazy out of them.

Questions to Answer

1. Anyone other than MIkko Koivu feel like playing offense??
   Will Owen Nolan and/or Andrew Brunette come out to play?
   Is it time to give Backstrom the night off?
   Should Burns really stay up front?
   How on earth will the Blues even field a complete team?
