It looks as if his words might have struck a chord with the Wild.

Suter stuffed the puck into the net after the Blackhawks’ Corey Crawford had made an initial save on Mikael Granlund. He gathered the puck behind the Blackhawks’ net and wrapped it around into the goal just beating Crawford. They did have a mess of a game against the Canucks giving up three power play goals, but that game was dominated on all fronts by Vancouver.
It’s been an interesting few days for Wild defenseman Ryan Suter. “It’s something that we can build on”.
But despite Patrick Kane extending his point streak to 20 games, the Hawks relinquished a prime chance to make a little headway in the division, falling 2-1 to the Wild on Tuesday, their first game back home after their six-game circus trip. Kane set the record for the longest point streak (19) by an American with his goal against the Kings.
Filip Forsberg had two goals and an assist, helping Nashville rally for the win.
“It would be nice, especially when a guy like Bobby Hull has the record, but it’s not really something I’m thinking about”, Kane said.
“I’m just trying to play the game and help my team the best I can”.
Tyson Barrie also scored for Colorado, which improved to 8-0-1 in its last nine games against the Devils.
He provided the Wild with its first lead in regulation in six road games 4 minutes, 9 seconds into the game on a wraparound.
Good win to start December and regain some of the confidence that had escaped this team the last couple of weeks.
After Crawford stopped Jared Spurgeon’s shot from the slot, Granlund fired the rebound to the left of a wide-open net.
As the period wore on, the Blackhawks finally began to generate some chances thanks to Jonathan Toews. He made a point-blank pad save on Marko Dano’s rebound attempt just 15 seconds into the second. “It was unbelievable”, said Gaborik, who tied the game with five minutes and 55 seconds left in the third period and won it on a wrist shot 2:04 into a frantic three-on-three overtime period, each time on setups from Anze Kopitar. Kane received a pass from defenseman Duncan Keith in the right circle and shot the puck through Dubnyk’s legs.
Flames 4, Stars 3: Sean Monahan had the clinching goal in the shootout and two assists in regulation, helping Calgary beat Dallas.

I grew up cheering for the Jets, and let me tell you, seven points was a pretty typical night at the office for Gretzky when he played Winnipeg.
