He looked bewildered by the precision of NashvilleРІР‚в„ўs shooters picking corners on him, before he was pulled prior to the third period. They have been allowing goals, but they are scoring seemingly at will right now, and they even hung a six-spot in forty minutes against Capitals superstar Braden Holtby. The Predaturds got out to a bit of a rocky start, going 5-5-2 in their first twelve, before shaking off their Stanley-Cup-losing hangover and catching fire for wins in their last five straight games. Nashville is on a serious roll right now. Tonight represents an extremely tough test for the Wild goalie to extend the streak, already the longest of his career at 195 minutes, as the defending Western Conference Champions come to town with their heinous jerseys. Even if IРІР‚в„ўve jinxed him now, and Nashville scores on the first shot of the game-like how Nino scored on the first shot to end Jason ZuckerРІР‚в„ўs streak-it doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean Dubnyk canРІР‚в„ўt continue playing an exceptional brand of hockey. 106! Think about that! Even when youРІР‚в„ўre at your absolute best, a partially-fanned shot, a screen, a deflection, a backdoor passРІР‚В¦ something HAS to get by you on that many shots. Duby has now stopped 106 shots in a row in the heat of NHL hockey games. Runs like this are truly incredible for goaltenders. IРІР‚в„ўm going on record that if Dubnyk gets a fourth consecutive shutout, I will strip completely naked and run around the block the Wild will have a really good chance to win tonightРІР‚в„ўs game. But Dubnyk propped up his teammates and got them through that frame, and the WildРІР‚в„ўs skaters found their game again in the third. The Wild had the РІР‚Сљfirst game back from a road-tripРІР‚Сњ look for a significant portion of its last game, again getting dramatically outshot in the second period 17-7, a trend that seems to be continuing to develop. But now that Bruce Boudreau has guided his team out of its early-season doldrums, РІР‚Сљthat winning feelingРІР‚Сњ is palpable. Granted, Devan Dubnyk is playing out of his effing mind right now, so it is reasonable to argue that the Wild could go right back to slumping if he should crack. After that game, itРІР‚в„ўs officially ok to feel good, as Minnesota has now been riding its sizzling goaltender for three straight victories without allowing a single goal against. Prior to TuesdayРІР‚в„ўs game against the Flyers, I wrote that we were close to being able to feel good about the Wild.

But I guess it was a little bit of a dangerous play. РІР‚СљI donРІР‚в„ўt think there was any intent, Ritchie said. Ritchie said heРІР‚в„ўs continued some concussion protocol in his recovery from an illegal boarding by Kings defenseman Tom Gilbert, suspended three games. РІР‚СљWe have to, at this time, try and be smart about things and not push things over the limit and forced into longer absences down the road,РІР‚Сњ he said. Getzlaf felt better but is also cautious this early in the season.

Both have missed the last two games with upper-body injuries.

Ryan Getzlaf and Nick Ritchie practiced and said they will reevaluate themselves in the morning. РІР‚СљThey were running out of gunpowder,РІР‚Сњ Vermette said. He certainly took note of the 10-0 win the Blue Jackets posted against the Montreal Canadiens on Friday, which meant the arena entertainment crew fired its trademark cannon 10 times. Next week, Vermette will play at Columbus, where he spent three-plus seasons. HeРІР‚в„ўs found a good place in a roundabout way as he gets reminders of his past, such as Arizona. Vermette said he felt comfortable in Anaheim from the start, and that was clear off the ice Saturday when teammates did some walk-by ribbing of him as he talked to reporters.
