04:37Edmondson was working his way up.
04:39To the half wall.
04:40And Jared Spurgeon able to get the puck behind him.
04:43That looked like it was redirected.

07:05Johansen tried to center.
07:08Gonskins the red line and flings it in.
07:11Melinas lost it.
07:12And Kempe has to make a save on a quick chance for Brazzo.
07:17He gets slashed or chopped.
07:18I think he would have had a better opportunity to score.

07:25Rebound loose in the circle.
07:28Fifield.
07:29Cut off by Bogosian.

08:28Back to Zuccarello.
08:29He scores!
08:35Matt Zuccarello with a power play goal.
08:38Puts Minnesota in front.
08:40His 100th goal with a while.
08:45The difference in this game.
08:48Nice play by Ryan Hartman to get it down low to Matt Boldy.
08:51Takes it off his skate.
08:52Finds Zuccarello on the back side.
08:55And Darcy Kemper's playing some great goal.
08:57The hottest goaltender in the National Hockey League.
08:59Takes a great shot to beat him out on top of the paint.
09:04And that has to feel great.
09:11Laferriere tried to center.
09:13It's kicked away by Gustafson.
09:15Laferriere back to Dowdy.
09:17Dowdy watched by Zuccarello.
09:19Down low.
09:20Laferriere.
09:21Back to Dowdy.
09:22Fires through traffic.
09:24Blocked in front.
09:25And cleared to center.
09:28Dowdy.
09:29Right back in for the Kings.
09:33Bogosian.
09:34Battling in the corner.
09:35It comes free to Kempe.
09:37His pass broken up by Spurgeon.
09:39Johansson at the empty net.
09:41He scores!
09:51Wild players conversing near the front of the net.
09:54Marcus Johansson with barely any time to get that one off.
09:58Was that the Wild needed more desperation than what we saw Saturday night.
10:03And we have seen that tonight from the Minnesota Wild.
10:07To win games down the stretch, you cannot win with your B game.
10:12You need to bring your A game every night.
