For just the second time this season the Minnesota Wild have a home game as they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. If you have been asleep for the last 24 hours or just not tuned in with the hockey world, the Blue Jackets fired (former Wild coach and Golden Gopher) Todd Richards and replaced him with John Tortorella. Torts plans to whip this team into shape and still believes the group he's inheriting can still turn it around. Mike Yeo isn't taking his opposition lightly. Columbus has posted 222 hits and averaged 31.7 hits a game through its first seven contests of the season which is second in the NHL.
