Clutterbuck practiced today after sitting out yesterday. Look for him to stay in the lineup as one of the tougher players in hockey.
The Wild tried Clutterbuck out on the top line in an attempt to create some space for Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley. The result was a measly shot on goal over nearly 18 minutes played with the Wild losing their third game in regulation. Look for him back on a checking line where his skills are better utilized.

The gritty forward might not be ready for Game 1 with the season opener less than a week away. Last season he posted a career high 19 goals and 34 points -- totals he could hit if he remains on the third line. Nevertheless, he remains a player who will miss some games every year due to his style of play.
