The Minnesota Wild lost both ends of a home and home to the Winnipeg Jets by following up a 4-2 loss in Winnipeg with a 3-2 loss at Xcel Energy Center to close out the 2023 portion of the schedule. The Wild took an early 1-0 lead on a goal from Marcus Foligno, his 6th of the year. The Wild briefly had a 2-0 lead, but Ryan Hartman’s goal was waived off due to offsides. The Jets tied the score at 1 in the second period. The Wild regained the lead in the 3rd on a goal by Freddy Gaudreau, but the Jets scored 2 straight to finish the scoring and seal the win. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 26 of 29 shots in his 1000th career game, but the Wild were unable to get him his 551st career win which would have tied him for 2nd all time with Patrick Roy. The Wild will host Calgary for their next game. No updates on either Kirill Kaprizov or Filip Gustavsson, but John Hynes said he hopes to have an update on their status going forward on Tuesday.

Did the team take half the night off or did Hynes get badly outcoached…BOTH!!!
Hynes channels Dean Evasson, team takes the night off and he cuts younger player time in half for an older, worse player! How Evasson!!!!
Looks like the Same Wild Different Day. It looks like they’re returning to their coach killer MO like the they were about 5-10 years ago. We don’t pay them to keep it close but to win. This team cannot beat The Jets. The team will not make the playoffs kinda remind me of The Vikings. The losses will get worse when it’s February and they are 20 points out of a playoff spot. It’s gonna suck to watch those games just ask us who just got done watching the Vikes/Pack game 😱.
the jets have solid four lines and the wild played valiantly but jets came out on top….why blame the wild? they deserve better….they lost to a better team this night.
