Second period: The Wild has lost Petr Sykora and Cal Clutterbuck with lower body injuries. Specifics after the game. Brunette goal now, not Hnidy 

Second TV timeout of first period, Wild has lost Cal Clutterbuck. Looked to be some kind of left leg injury. John Scott also hurt his right knee when hit with a shot, but he’s still on Wild bench. 

Good evening from high above the HP Pavilion, where the Wild and Sharks are about to clash.

Same lineup for the Wild, although I’d think we’d see some new lines and maybe a return of an old one. Let’s put it this way: Martin Havlat was not with Petr Sykora and Eric Belanger this morning.

Beautiful day here in San Jose, so sorry for no blog. I did go to the Innovation Museum though.

Wild better be much better in its own zone tonight, or it’ll be another long game for the men from Minnesota. Joe Thornton, Dany Heatley and Devin Setoguchi lit up the Jackets the other night.

Tonight will be the first game for Wild coach Todd Richards against San Jose. He spent last season here as an assistant.

Tonight will be the first game for Sharks assistant coach and birthday boy Matt Shaw against Minnesota. He spent eight seasons with the Wild organization, including the last two as an assistant/video coach.

Talk to you after.
