Nectarios Triantis is still unavailable for Minnesota, in the center of the midfield, and Peter Stroud re-aggravated the quad injury that caused him to miss the entire first half of the season. That means Owen Géne is once again likely to have to step up in the center for the Loons; the 23-year-old has started 10 times in the league for Minnesota, all of them in the team's last 12 games.

Just don't expect his expression to change. The next time you see Géne shouting at a teammate, or yelling at a referee, or really saying anything at all on the field, it'll be the first time.
