The Blue Jackets have announced their lineup for the game tonight against the Minnesota Wild. We are icing a team of mostly regulars. Below is the lineup for the Jackets and the Wild. Also, remember I will be liveblogging the game, as best I can tonight, so any comments are appreciated!
Columbus Blue Jackets Lineup
Pascal Leclaire in net, with Norrena playing the backup. Pazzy will have to have a great night tonight, but that shouldn’t be a problem.
On defense Kris Russell, Jan Hejda, Christian Backman, Aaron Rome, Richard Matvichuk, and Fedor Tyutin. Russell, Rome and Matvichuk are trying to claim the last spots on the blue line. Let’s hope they make an impression tonight. Also remember, Rome, Tollefsen, and Methot all have to go through waivers to be sent to Syracuse.
Here are tonights forward lines according to Puck-Rakers
Rick Nash—R.J. Umberger—Kristian Huselius
Jason Chimera—Jiri Novotny—Jake Voracek
Craig MacDonald—Derek MacKenzie—Adam Pineault
Nikita Filatov—Manny Malhotra—Jared Boll
Looks good to me. Now, onto the Wild.
Backstrom in net with Brust as the backup.
On defense they have Justin Falk, Kim Johnson, John Scott, Brent Burns, Nick Schultz, and Martin Skoula.
Here are their forward lines, again according to Puck-Rakers.
F1: Colton Gillies—Benoit Pouliot—Marian Gaborik
F2: P-M Bouchard—Eric Belanger—Owen Nolan
F3: Stephane Veilleux—James Sheppard—Craig Weller
F4: Derek Boogaard—Krys Kolanos—Cal Clutterbuck
My guess is Boll and the Boogie man have fight or two tonight, but I have been wrong in my predictions thus far, so you never know.
It will be a good test to see how this team, this new team reacts after such a brutal loss last night.
Like Paul mentioned earlier there were a number of scouts at last nights game, I will check it out *read ask someone* if there are any scouts tonight.
And, the Puck Stops Here has his Western Conference Predictions, and the Jackets are coming in at #12. We’ll see how that goes.
One last thing, I don’t think I thanked Tracy *my twin* from True Coyote Love for my awesome header!!
