After 12 games played outside of the division, it will be nice to get beaten by a NW team for a change. It's possible that this will be the last time we see Jacques Lemaire behind the bench in the Pepsi Center - Jim Souhan is reporting that Lemaire is contemplating retirement.
Injury information is listed below. Cody McLeod is still missing from the list; he's been practicing and will be a game time decision. Ditto for Cody McCormick. Also missing from the list is Brent Burns, who did not travel to Colorado.
My status for the game will also be a game time decision, as DirecTV is up to their shenanigans again; they are currently showing that the game will be shown on the TBA channel. Super. [The game is now showing in my guide, so I'm okay, although I'm still shaking my head at yet another clueless email response from a DTV rep]
In the Ti4T watch, all bottom-five teams are in "action" tonight. Phoenix is at New Jersey, Atlanta is at Edmonton, Tampa is at Toronto and the Islanders are at Montreal.
