ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild are beginning to get healthier.

Right wing Antti Miettinen has returned after missing the last three games with what was diagnosed as swine flu. Coach Todd Richards said Tuesday he believes Miettinen will play Wednesday against Nashville.

Right wing Martin Havlat has missed the last four games because of a hamstring injury and defenseman Marek Zidlicky was out of the last game due to an upper-body injury. But both players are expected to play against the Predators.

Hopefully they'll play without their heads up their arses?

Besides the injuries he has had, what do you think has been the problem with Havlat and his sloooow start? I cannot figure it out because at times he seems to be skating well and seeing & making plays, but he has been so inconsistent and really a non-factor for most of his time so far.

I agree. From what I have seen of him the effort is there, just no results. It's weird one, myself I thing it's just a matter of time until the stats show up, time will tell.

At an old job of mine, I had a boss that always said, "No excuses! Just results!"

I think he needs to have a talk with Havlat. I really hope he gets his butt in gear.

[WildPuck]

Yeah, we would like to see results...and I guess they did not have that 'talk' before last nights game because he stunk again.

[Harriet Snodgrass]

At least Miettinen was on.
