Marian Gaborik and Owen Nolan are not on the trip.

Assistant GM Tom Lynn said Nolan is out for tomorrow’s game against Phoenix and will be re-evaluated Monday to see if he can meet the team in San Jose. Lynn said Gaborik is out longer. He said he’ll be re-evaluated next week. He said the team decided to have Gaborik skated with the team yesterday morning as a “trial balloon.” It did not go well, Lynn said, and it’s been decided more rest is needed for Gaborik.

Antti Miettinen missed today’s practice with a “lower body” injury but is probably against the Coyotes.

As reported the other day, Mikko Koivu retained the Captain’s ‘C’ for the month of November.

Funny story from PR guy Ryan Stanzel, but the flight attendants on the team’s charter dressed as Stephane Veilleux, Brent Burns and Josh Harding. Burns’ costume was accurate right down to the missing tooth.

I still miss my Blackberry.  Ok, gotta right. Already 6:45 back in your neck of the woods.
