Just a brief check-in, but the Wild didn't practice Sunday but has arrived in Chicago. Derek Boogaard, who missed the last two games with an illness, is on the trip. He skated this morning. Martin Havlat faces the Blackhawks for the first time tomorrow. Wild looking to avoid going 0-8 on the road. The last team to go without a point in its first eight road games was the 1996-97 Penguins. That's it. Talk to you after the morning skates.
