Clutterbuck, Scott in; Sykora, Earl scratched
Posted by: Michael Russo under Wild game coverage Updated: January 14, 2010 - 7:01 PM
Cal Clutterbuck pronounced himself ready to go before the game.
Clutterbuck felt terrible Thursday morning but told me before tonight's game, “I felt something was up this morning. I had a good sleep. I had something to eat. I woke up, feel OK now. I’ll play and see how I feel afterward.”
Oy.
John Scott's in with the "sickness." i.e. sore hand, I think. James Sheppard's playing for Robbie Earl. Petr Sykora's scratched for the fifth game in a row.
