Wild Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Until recently, the Wild was a team in desperate need of offense. Now, it has scored 15 goals in its last three games.
However, rookie forward Cal Clutterbuck, who scored his first two NHL goals Nov. 24 against Washington and seemed to help jumpstart some offense, has sat out the last two games. This comes after coach Jacques Lemaire praised Clutterbuck in the media.
Perhaps it was a bit too soon.
"He started to slow down and that was after my comments that he had a spot on the team, so that's why I'm going to try to hold (my comments) next time," Lemaire said.
Lemaire said it was not a "wakeup call" but added, "(Clutterbuck's) got to be at his best to play regularly, and if he's not, he can't play regularly.
"I know one thing. |
Stastny leads offensive outburst in Colorado's win (AP)
Games between the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche are usually low-scoring, grind-it-out affairs. Not this time. Paul Stastny had two goals and an assist, and the low-scoring Avalanche broke out for a 6-5 win over the Wild on Monday night. Marek Svatos, David Jones, T.J. Hensick and Milan Hejduk also scored for Colorado, which entered the game as the second lowest scoring team in the Western... |
Koivu scores twice in Wild's 6-2 win over Preds (AP)

The Minnesota Wild made the Nashville Predators' stellar penalty-killers look pretty average. Mikko Koivu scored two goals and added an assist and Minnesota scored five times on power plays in a 6-2 victory over Nashville on Saturday night. The Predators entered with the NHL's best home penalty-killing percentage at 89.5, but they couldn't stop the Wild when they had an advantage.

Wild rally, beat Lightning 4-2 (AP)

Marc-Andre Bergeron assisted on a pair of goals early in the third period as the Minnesota Wild rallied to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-2 on Friday afternoon. With the Wild trailing 2-1, Bergeron's slap shot was tipped by James Sheppard to tie it at 2. The defenseman then set up Mikko Koivu's game-winner as the Wild denied new Lightning coach Rick Tocchet his first road win.

Stars rally, beat Wild 4-3 (AP)

The Dallas Stars dug themselves out of a big hole against the Minnesota Wild. They've still got some work to do to get out of the Western Conference basement. Loui Eriksson had a goal and two assists and the Stars overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Wednesday night. Down 3-1 late in the second period, Dallas tied it on goals by James Neal and Brad Richards, then took the...

Wild get 2 goals from rookie in 4-3 win over Caps (AP)

Forget those nerve-racking final 6 minutes for now. The Minnesota Wild were just happy with a productive performance during the first 54. Cal Clutterbuck's first two NHL goals gave the Wild a badly needed offensive boost that was strong enough to withstand three late scores by the injury-depleted and travel-weary Washington Capitals in a 4-3 victory Monday night.

Boyes scores twice for Blues (AP)

As Chris Mason prepared to make his sixth start in net for the struggling St. Louis Blues, he was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to come out on the winning end. "Coming to a new team, I felt sometimes I wasn't going to get one here," said Mason, who was acquired from Nashville for a fourth-round pick to backup Manny Legace.

Daniel Sedin scores winner for Canucks (AP)

Two players made triumphant returns and the Vancouver Canucks picked up two more points. Daniel Sedin scored the winner midway through the third period in the Canucks' 3-2 victory over the Minnesota on Thursday night. Steve Bernier and former Wild wing Pavol Demitra also scored to help Vancouver beat Minnesota for the second time this season.

Backstrom strong in net, Wild beat Penguins 2-1 (AP)

Not many teams can beat the Pittsburgh Penguins by putting the puck into the net only once. The Minnesota Wild accomplished it the timeworn way, with an excellent defense and a goaltender who is allowing fewer goals than his low-scoring team is getting. Marek Zidlicky scored the only goal in the shootout and the Minnesota Wild benefited from a gift goal that Pittsburgh put into its net for a 2-1...
