A day after scoring four third-period goals in Buffalo to snap a two-game skid, the Canucks scored three in the second period and briefly broke out of a power-play funk.
After a scoreless first period, Vancouver ended an 0-for-18 power-play drought stretching over five games on PetterssonB次元官网网址檚 second-period goal as things were turning chippy. Minnesota answered with FolignoB次元官网网址檚 eighth goal of the season at the 11:58 mark to bring some life to an otherwise sleepy arena.
But the tie lasted only 13 seconds, with Horvat tapping in a loose puck just outside the crease off a shot from Tanner Pearson. The Canucks struck again 1:13 later when StecherB次元官网网址檚 hard wrist shot from just above the right circle beat DubnykB次元官网网址檚 glove to make it 3-1.
The Wild were whistled for eight penalties, and MinnesotaB次元官网网址檚 20th-ranked power play unit went 0 for 5 on the man-advantage. Minnesota emptied its net early in the fourth but couldnB次元官网网址檛 solve Markstrom.
