This is going to be quick, as I don’t have a lot of time this afternoon. Steve Mason will be starting for the BJs, and Howard’s in for Detroit.

Leino will be sitting in the press box tonight, because Babcock isn’t happy with his competitiveness.
Who I’m looking at to have a good game: I want to see how Ritola’s going to handle being tossed in as a replacement for Leino. Babcock has blatantly said that “He better shoot the puck and he better not be on the outside.”
And just to note, Columbus just traded Jason Chimera to Washington for Chris Clark and Milan Jurcina, but I doubt that’s going to have any bearing on tonight’s game.
