Clutterbuck took a nasty knee-on-knee hit from Ryan Whitney yesterday and probably misses a few games. Look for Casey Wellman to play in his place.

Clutterbuck is on pace for career highs across the board and has been a stud in fantasy hockey. We likely will have an update on his status after the game.

Clutterbuck will play on the third line. In leagues that count hits, he is certainly a must-start forward.

Clutterbuck is likely a game-time decision. With improvement he's probably leaning towards 60/40.

Clutterbuck was too banged up to play yesterday but is likely for tomorrow. Through 13 games he has two goals scored.

Clutterbuck practiced today after sitting out yesterday. Look for him to stay in the lineup as one of the tougher players in hockey.

The Wild tried Clutterbuck out on the top line in an attempt to create some space for Mikko Koivu and Dany Heatley. The result was a measly shot on goal over nearly 18 minutes played with the Wild losing their third game in regulation. Look for him back on a checking line where his skills are better utilized.

With the two combining for only two goals and eight points over eight games, the Wild likely want to create some space for their most talented duo.

The gritty forward might not be ready for Game 1 with the season opener less than a week away. Last season he posted a career high 19 goals and 34 points -- totals he could hit if he remains on the third line. Nevertheless, he remains a player who will miss some games every year due to his style of play.
