Marleau centers Pavelski and Winnik on 2nd line. #SJSharks
Pavelski is bumped down to the second line. He has 23 goals and 48 points in 61 games.
Whether or not Joe Pavelski skates today will be of note. The forward took a slap shot to the helmet from Detroit’s Nicklas Lidstrom on Sunday and although he returned, voiced some concerns after the game.
Sounds like the scoring forward is simply day-to-day. Pavelski has 22 goals and 45 points in 57 games. Stay tuned for a further update on his status.

As I mentioned in a previous blog, he had a soft cast on his right knee after last night's victory over the Sharks and it seems serious, based on the reaction of people around him.
Tough break for the speedy winger who continues to struggle with injuries. He scored eight goals and 13 points in his first 28 games with the club but is expected to miss significant playing time. Stay tuned for a further update from the team.
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.

Devin Setoguchi was the only player not to skate. He had a “maintenance” day, but he will be in the lineup tomorrow against his former team.

Setoguchi back with Koivu and Heatley today
Setoguchi moves back to the top line but will likely play LW. He scored three goals and five points over his first 10 games as a member of the Wild.
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.
