With the team essentially intact (only Marek Zidlicky was out with injury), the Wild took to the ice looking for one last warmup before seven days off to rest and practice and finalize the roster. Leaving Montreal healthy was goal number 1, leaving Montreal healthy was goal number 2 and leaving Montreal healthy was goal number 3. Of course, winning would be nice, but looking ready for the season and being healthy is far, far more important. Luckily, the Wild won, 3-0 on goals from Gaborik, Veilleux and Miettinen.
From Star Tribune
Shockingly, the lines at the beginning of the night were not the lines by the end of the night. Good to see some things haven't changed.
With the Wild winning 3-0, Backstrom had to have been decent, right?
Yeah, that's not bad.
Final Roster?
Call me crazy, but I have absolutely no problem with this roster, but as soon as Skoula costs the team a couple games, or tries to poke our goalie's eye out with a stick again, he's gotta be gone and Mojzis has to be in his spot.

Nice series of quotes here from the Habs Inside/Out live blog of the game
