Fred Brathwaite, last seen in action on Jan. 1 in a 2-1 loss to New Jersey, will be in goal Monday night when the Blues face the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim at 7 p.m. at Savvis Center.
"It will be good to get back into a game," Brathwaite said. "Obviously, I can't be disappointed with not playing. Johnnie's been playing excellent, the guys have been playing really well. It's just too bad I have to go in under a circumstance like this."
Wild?..paper
With three defenseman -- Brad Bombardir, Brad Brown and Willie Mitchell -- on the shelf because of injuries, the Wild recalled defenseman Travis Roche from Houston. Roche, signed as a free agent out of the University of North Dakota at the end of last season, has 11 goals and 12 assists with 70 penalty minutes in 42 games with Houston this season.
Mitchell, who missed his third consecutive game Saturday because of a bruised wrist, was placed on injured reserve. However, he might be able to return next week. The news may not be as good for Brown, who is out because of a sprained right knee. It's possible he could miss at least a week.
Zholtok sits
In a mild surprise, Wild center Sergei Zholtok, the team's fourth-leading scorer with 25 points in 51 games, was a healthy scratch Saturday for the first time this season.
Zholtok has no goals and only one assist and is a minus-3 in the past eight games.
With Zholtok sitting, forward Stacy Roest was back in the lineup after sitting nine of the past 12 games. Forward Sylvain Blouin also was a healthy scratch.
