Steve Mason will get the start tonight, which considering it’s the second night of a back to back and the seventh game in 11 days is not all that unexpected. I’ve been reticent to try to keep the lines updated in some of my previews, given the flux we’ve seen, but as our good friend Rob Mixer Tweeted earlier, with no morning skate there probably won’t be any changes to start other than Mason:
Umberger–Anisimov–Dorsett
Foligno–Johansen–Prospal
Calvert–Dubinsky–Brassard
Gillies–Letestu–Boll
D-pairs should be the same as always.
Minnesota is looking to break an 0-2-1 skid at home tonight. After this game, the Jackets play six in a row at home.
