Tonight's lines:
Minnesota Wild | New York Islanders |
Brunette - Koivu - Mittens Johnsson - Schultz Backstrom | Bergenheim - Weight - Guerin Witt - Streit |
Holy crap! Look at those injuries! How on earth do they even field a complete team?
Notes
- Marian Gaborik, "If I would need to rest it, I’d definitely consider it. But I’m playing tonight and hopefully everything’s going to be good."
- Eric Belanger is out . Krys Kolanos will take his spot. Colton Gillies is in and if Gaborik can’t play, then Weller will.
- Kyle Okposo is indeed expected to play tonight.
- Mike Comrie is set to return to the lineup after missing the past 17 games with a hip injury.
- Russo says Lemaire is unavailable as is Risebrough. Is a move in the works? Rosters lock tonight at midnight tonight for a week.
- The Islanders have allowed an NHL-worst 115 goals.
- Does Gaborik play? If he does, will he be tentative?
- With Kolanos, Gillies, Clutterbuck and Pouliot all in the lineup, will the youth movement prevail?
- Should Reitz be the odd man out?
- When the team giving up the most goals plays the team scoring the least amount of goals, can the anemic offense get the boost they require?
- Is a trade actually in the works?
