While not unexpected, it appears Minnesota Wild rookie defenseman Mathew Dumba will not make his NHL debut tonight.

We’ll have more for you as the situation develops. In the meantime, I’ll be hopping on the KCFS 94.5 FM airwaves to host this morning’s Opening Night edition of “The Power Play” Hockey Talk Radio from 10-noon. To listen online, click here.

Scott will have the game preview up later today.
