Andrew Brunette will play in Minnesota on Wednesday for the first time since signing a one-year deal with the Blackhawks over the summer. Brunette has spent six seasons in Minnesota over two stints. The first was from 2001-02 to 2003-04 and the last spanned from 2008-09 through 2010-11. However, if you think Brunette will go out there with a special desire to excel against his former teammates, you might be disappointed. "I'm not excited," Brunette said. "It's not fun. I don't think when you play somewhere for so long that it's one I circle and look forward to. You just kind of want to get it over with, get a win and get the heck out of there."
