With Pietrangelo back in, Robert Bortuzzo will be the odd man out on defense. Forward Tyler Bozak (lower-body injury) will not play tonight, however head coach Craig Berube said he does not expect it to be long-term.
Here's tonight's projected lineup, based on this morning's skate at Xcel Energy Center.
