YOUR GUIDE TO THE TWIN CITIES
As expected, Backstrom is in goal. Scratches tonight are Keith Carney, Kurtis Foster and Matt Foy. Oilers coach Craig MacTavish is starting captain Ethan Moreau; Moreah is playing in his first game since Oct. 21, 2006. Roli the goalie in the nets for the Oilers.
Michael Russo has covered the Minnesota Wild and NHL for the Star Tribune since 2005 following 10 years of covering the Florida Panthers for the Sun-Sentinel. Michael fell in love with the sport thanks to the New York Islanders’ dynasty of the early-'80s and being able to cover the three-time Sunshine Hockey League-champion West Palm Beach Blaze in the early-'90s. Michael uses “Russo’s Rants” to feed a wide-ranging hockey-centric discussion with readers, and “Russo Radio” can be heard Wednesdays at 6 p.m. on KSTP (AM-1500).
