But now the bad news: Devin Setoguchi looks like he suffered a serious right leg injury. I think knee, but we will see. He was wearing a soft cast on his right leg under his pants after the game, limping badly and being consoled by folks.

Line Change
Cullen with Bouchard/Setoguchi
Setoguchi was moved to the second line after scoring three goals and an assist over eight games. With Guillaume Latendresse out of the lineup, the second line could use a scoring touch.
Line Change
On Tuesday, Head Coach Mike Yeo looked for a spark and flip-flopped Pierre-Marc Bouchard with Setoguchi. Yeo could go back to the original tonight, but he seems to have reached the point of looking for the right mix.
Yeo could switch Bouchard and Setoguchi over the course of the game but the team's lines will at least start as is. Setoguchi has two goals through his first six games as a member of the Wild.
The first line of Devin Setoguchi, Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley showed signs.

Setoguchi may even receive an upgrade in fantasy hockey value as he moves from the San Jose line juggle to a guaranteed spot on the top line.
