Quick Pre-Game Notes – Wild vs. Avs

Scratches haven’t changed, thank goodness. Screwup Zidlicky is out, along with Staubitz and Lundin.

Backstrom gets the start tonight, and for good reason according to the numbers. He’s an Avalanche killer both at home and on the road.

Should be a good one, let’s see if the Wild can bring the same energy to the road that they had at the Xcel this past weekend!
