“That wasn’t anywhere near the way we can play. Still, the Wild’s great game doesn’t excuse the Blackhawks for their poor one. The Wild has won four in a row under Torchetti, scoring 21 goals in these four games. It’s been a different team under John Torchetti, who was named interim coach upon Yeo’s dismissal. The Wild was in a tailspin last week, losing eight in a row and ultimately firing head coach Mike Yeo. Tough game overall for us but we have to learn from it.” These games and points are important to them to try and get a playoff spot. “They’ve got some momentum ever since the coaching change, and seems like they’re rolling with confidence right now.
“I mean these games, they’re early in the day sometimes it seems like one team starts faster than another one,” Kane said.

Corey Crawford was pulled entering the second period after allowing four goals on 23 shots through the first 40 minutes. For the Blackhawks, this was a forgettable one from the start. Patrick Kane had the Blackhawks’ lone goal. The Dallas Stars, who are idle today, remain a point behind in second place. The Blackhawks snapped a two-game winning streak but remain atop the Central Division. Jason Pominville, Nino Niederreiter and Ryan Carter recorded a goal and an assist each and Devan Dubnyk stopped 31 of 32 shots as the Wild beat the Blackhawks 6-1 on Sunday afternoon.
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Wild talked Saturday about finally getting an outdoor game and how the team wouldn’t get caught up in all the fun and festivities that surround it.
