Jan. 29, 2013 - 12:40 PM ET
It looks like Niklas Backstrom will get the start in net Tuesday against the Blue Jackets.
Backstrom has started three of Minnesota's five games, but is just 1-1-1 on the season with a 3.31 GAA and .885 save percentage. Perhaps Backstrom's first game against Columbus will get him going. In 16 career starts against the Jackets, Backstrom has a 2.27 GAA and a .923 save percentage.
