UPDATE: Richards says Boogaard is gametime decision, but like I said, John Scott hasn’t practiced as a forward since the weekend.

It looks like Derek Boogaard, after only two practices, will return tonight as the fourth-line left wing. He’s on a line currently in the morning skate and John Scott is wearing a maroon defenseman jersey, meaning he’s a likely extra tonight with Jaime Sifers.

If anything changes, I’ll update. Talked to George Parros. He told Scott if the Wild is ever up 3-0 in his building, he expects him to return the favor and fight him like he did last week in Minnesota. For Parros, it looks like the rematch will have to wait tonight. He can sub out Scott for Boogaard, I suppose.

Probable lines tonight:

Bruno-Koivu-Havlat
Brodziak-Belanger-Pouliot
Miettinen-Sheppard-Nolan
Boogaard-Smith-Hilbert

Probable pairs

Zanon-Burns
Johnsson-Hnidy
Schultz-Zidlicky

Russo Radio tonight at 6 CDT on KSTP.
