Same lineup tonight against the Blues. Wild looks like it’ll be sitting Colton Gillies, Craig Weller and Tomas Mojzis.

Former Panther/Predator Chris Mason will be getting the nod in goal. The fantasy football star will be looking for his first win with St. Louis. He had an appendectomy at the start of the season and is just starting to get back to feeling OK.

Not much going on down at the rink this morning. Eric Belanger and Andrew Brunette exercised their options, as did Jacques Lemaire, who supervised from the stands. The Wild wasn’t exactly loose this morning, which could be good considering its recent performances when loose.

The team looked all business. The last 10 minutes of practice had Mario Tremblay dropping pucks at center ice as the Wild centermen, especially James Sheppard and Benoit Pouliot, practiced their draws. Mikko Koivu didn’t take it easy on them, at one point knocking Pouliot to the ice and cross-checking him.

Pretty lame blog, I know, but talk to you tonight.
