Tonight's Lineup

Just arrived at Philips Arena. Here's what I know: Gary Bettman will be in the house tonight. Alexander Semin (sprained ankle) isn't on the trip, and Brent Johnson will be your starting goaltender.

Here's the rest of the lineup:

Update:Change of plans. This is what it looked like at the morning skate.

Backstrom-Nylander-Laich
Pettinger-Gordon-Clark

Morrisonn-Jurcina
Schultz-Pothier
Poti-Green

Note:Don't forget to join me for my season-opening chat in about 20 minutes.

Update:For a second, I thought Team Sweden was playing tonight. Ten reporters from that country, print and television, are here for tonight's game.
