Rachel Blount's in Toronto tonight, so I'll be watching the game on NHL.com's GameCenter from Florida. Because there's no local TV back in Minnesota, I'll live tweet at @russostrib if you want to follow.
I'll be meeting the team Wednesday in Tampa and picking up the remainder of the road trip.
Kim Johnsson will be back in the lineup tonight. John Scott is out. James Sheppard in for Petr Sykora.
