#mnwild up 3-0 over a red-hot Nashville group.
Three #mnwild goals on eight shots after Kirill Kaprizov scores on the power play. 3-0 against the Predators
Minnesota scores 30 seconds into the power play and the #Preds now find themselves down 3-0
So it's not going well for the #Preds right now ... Six in a row before tonight, but John Hynes' Minnesota Wild have grabbed a 3-0 lead with 5:28 left in the first period.
Unsuccessful coach's challenge by Nashville, so Jake Middleton's goal stands up and the #mnwild are going on a power play ahead 2-0.
Wait. Preds lost the challenge, It's 2-0and #MNWild on power play.
Goal stands after review. #mnwild up 2-0 with six minutes to go in first period
Wild appear to have taken a 2-0 lead but the #Preds challenge the playoff to see whether or not it was offside. And........it was not. Wild have taken a 2-0 lead and have been faster to just about every puck so far tonight. And now Minnesota will head to the power play.
Minnesota killed a penalty then scored off the rush; Connor Dewar muscles in the rebound and the #Preds trail 1-0
Just like last game, the #mnwild deny an early power play and then score shortly after: This time, Connor Dewar with the tally for the 1-0 lead vs. Nashville.
#MNWild kill penalty, then score on rush. Dewar muscles in rebound. It's 1-0 MN at 6:09.
Hynes returning to 'special place' as new Wild coach to face Predators https://t.co/NXVbRxm0NJ
John Hynes' whirlwind 24 hours results in first win with Wild: 'They made it easy on the coach' https://t.co/t8aOFxz4TE
And the John Hynes era has begun in Minnesota with his first #mnwild practice https://t.co/fAWsQWbv0M
John Hynes’ first #mnwild practice. Iowa coach Brett McLean on the ice presumably because Wild obviously want their minor-league team doing the same stuff (drills/system) and Iowa has time between games https://t.co/2oWy0JAEwN
Three keys in #stlblues 3-1 loss against #mnwild include another night of an ineffective, inept power play; lacking quality zone exits; minimal offensive zone time: https://t.co/djQZTgy0m5
Three-period takeaways from #stlblues 3-1 loss against #mnwild include falling behind early, late in first; Binnington making saves to keep your team in it, failure on key four-minute PP in third seals loss: https://t.co/beMptkd6pn
#MNWild find their mojo, beat St. Louis 3-1 in first game under new coach John Hynes. @PioneerPress https://t.co/C0JBGSS6lV
#stlblues did hit three posts/cross bars tonight but simply not enough pucks to the net. A four-minute PP with chance to tie the game and only one shot? Inexcusable again. #mnwild did have 25 blocks. And as I'm watching this game, a lot of those were skaters too slow shooting it.
final: #mnwild 3, #stlblues 1 ... Wild snap seven-game losing streak; #stlblues PP again rears its ugly head against worst PK in the league going 0-for-4.
FINAL: #mnwild 3, #stlblues 1
A standing ovation from the wild fans as #mnwild snaps a 7-game winless streak with a 3-1 win over the #stlblues
The Wild kill off 4-minute double minor. The Blues were only credited with one shot on goal. Blues PP now 0-for-4 tonight and 6-for-65 this season. #stlblues
The Blues caught a massive break on the flub by Zuccarello. The Wild owned the second period, outshooting the Blues 17-5. The scoring chances were 9-5 Wild, according to @NatStatTrick. Binnington is the reason that it's still 2-1 Wild heading to the third period. #stlblues
Stats crew just suddenly gave the #MNWild another 9 SOG. It's 27-14 Minnesota, which is more indicative of the game in the second period.
