Nice to finally string some games together, even if they are back to back.

 

[Sharppi]

What, more hockey? Awesome!

 

[TZM]

Will be a lot tougher game than vs. ANA.

Still think this team is a ways off of where their game should be right now. The good thing is that at 5-1-1 they've positioned themselves well in what will be a dog fight of a division despite all that.

Can't say enough about the play of Parise, Suter, and Koivu to this point. They're carrying the team.

This Jets game will be a good test. Back to back with travel against what will likely be Hutchinson, a very talented young goaltender. Jets are a quality team that the Wild will need to put away if they want to trend toward the top of the division and stay out of the wild card mix. They play a game that will challenge how the Wild want to play so it'll be interesting to see what Wild team shows up.

Is Dubnyk or Backstrom backing up today?

I think Russo said somewhere that Dubnyk stayed home. If that's the case, Backstrom.

 

[Hall of Faber]

Wut??? Kuemper is starting.

Welp, I'm slow on mobile.

 

[this providence]

Previous tweet from Russo today said he thought Dubnyk stayed home. Maybe he was guessing because of the knee?

 

[Minnesota]

No Kurtis Gabriel debut tonight as previously speculated.

 

[FVM]

Bäckström has been permanently planted by the popcorn machine. Hope they find someone, anyone, to take him and give him a chance to play. Europe, maybe?

I hope they use him in practice all year and he never sees a second of game action.

 

[JudgeJimmie]

Hope Pommers pots a couple tonight and Zucker gets in the goal column! Get that confidence spreading in the lineup!

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Just a matter of time for Zucker.

[MNhockey19]

Well, lets see if the Jets play better than they did in preseason.

Getting hungry. Might have to run to Chipotle real quick. Or wait a period...
