With AHL Iowa, they say winning "is not the mandate." But what does that mean for development? www.nytimes.com/athletic/636...

#mnwild empty handed on back to back power plays. Could end up costing them in a tight game like this. They had some looks on the second one

#mnwild and Ducks tied 1-1 after one. 12-12 in shots on goal.

Alex Killorn ties it up 1-1 with 6:12 to go in first. Centering pass goes off Middleton, then to Killorn in front

Marcus Johansson 1-0

Rossi, 3-2. #mnwild with a huge win in OT
April 6, 2025 at 9:47 PM
#mnwild 5-for-5 on PK today. Not many nights where the unit has been the MVP, but this one is up there. Last kill without Faber. Got a little break with Robertson hitting post, but still impressive
April 6, 2025 at 9:40 PM
Three kills for #mnwild, coming through clutch today. Then Stars score right after to tie it. 6:54 left
April 6, 2025 at 9:28 PM
Marcus Foligno 2-1 #mnwild. Potentially one of biggest goals of team's season there if they hold on to win
April 6, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Matt Boldy, who had a great chance a few moments ago, had a re-direct. Then, as he fell to his knees, took big whack at a loose puck and finally beat Oettinger.

Matt Boldy 1-1 #mnwild

#mnwild power play now 0-for-3 tonight. Not much on that last one either
April 6, 2025 at 9:05 PM
#mnwild with another power play. 40 seconds left in period. Huge moment here for them, still down 1-0
April 6, 2025 at 8:43 PM
#mnwild back on power play with seven minutes to go in second period. Still down 1-0
April 6, 2025 at 8:33 PM
Gustav Nyquist with a great chance there on the power play. Man has Oettinger has been so good against the #mnwild
