NHL Highlights | Jets vs. Wild – October 28, 2025

And we’re underway from St. Paul. First of four 25th anniversary nights where the Wild wear the throwback jerseys. Back to the way hockey supposed to be played with a home team in white. Rush opportunities for that top group, but they have a responsible forward three. I like their chances. Look, good battle right off the draw. Led to a backhand shot on goal. Hell made the save. Left side here. He just physical battle pushes his guy wins that puck and then a nice play to get the backhand on net. It’s encouraging to see that. I think these guys understand the and it was disrupted. Shen pitches from the point. Valardi centers and a point blank chance is denied by Gustiffson the other. Connor just kind of finds some quiet ice and shot. Connor controls it. Deflects to the line. Pock settles it down there. Long shot. They score at the side of the net. Valardi was able to settle a bouncing puck and sneak it in behind Gustiffson. And Minnesota once again will have to battle from behind. It’s the eighth time in 11 games. Well, Wild have a chance out in front of Hellok to get one. They don’t. The Jets spirit go down the other direction. And then they just throw this puck at the net and Valardi who just got his first goal of the season. He’s been struggling. Snake bit a little bit, but so good around the net. He’s got great hand eye coordination, skill. This one hits him in the elbow, then falls down his equipment slowly, but he’s able to bat it out of the air. Gusen just looking around trying to figure out where this puck is. I I don’t think he sees it after and as righty get a piece of it. had any good play by Valardi. Wild in familiar spot where the game had been good and now they find themselves down two-0 as Nomesticov deflects this one by Gustiffson. And as good a start as this was for Minnesota for the first 10 minutes, the Jets scored twice in less than a minute and have a two0 lead. You know, after big moments in the game, rebounding and grabbing control of momentum or stopping it, but Taves wins the faceoff. The Jets kind of go around the world and another tip out in front just finds its way on net and through Gustoson. And this time it’s a a moving screen. I follow ties two up. And as I follow is getting the attention of both Faber. Wilds start the second period with a minute 20 remaining on their first power play chance of the game. And the Jets win the draw. Dlo back to pick up the puck. Sends it all the way down into Minnesota territory. Middleton tried to center a follow on it for the Jets. And we got a fight behind the play. The play blown dead as Middleton drops the gloves against Luke Shen in a battle of five against five. Boy, a lot of laughs. Lot of laps from Shen early in this one. Middleton got the right three. Middleton right there. Finish from Shen. Then they just kind of hold on to each other. Sort it out. Let’s do this. And then watch a left from Shen. Boom. I think that caught Middleton by surprise, but none of them land. Then they start to pop, but Middleton does a good job. They’re jockeying for some balance. Little block move. Capri spins out of the corner with it for Spurgeon. A shot. Save. Helmet. Rebound. It’s waved off. The puck’s still loose. Now the net’s loose. Baldi tried to bat this puck out of the air. The Wild thought at one point that it had crossed the line, but it was waved off immediately. Well, they’re kind of celebrating like they know it’s in. Baldi takes this one away. Then it’s threeon two attack and they get it to the net. They hit Spurs in the trailer and it goes up in the air. Times held up. Then it kind of sits there and you can see Rossi got a piece of it and the announced that it’s a good goal. [Applause] You see there the puck underneath Hellabuk’s pad but never frozen and looks like it’s Capriov that comes in and gets the stick able to knock it out to center. Ericson picks it up. Got it to Terasenko. Terasenko a shot rebound. Ericson rolled it right through the blue right along the goal line behind Hell. Come very close right here. Erikson just couldn’t sneak it past the post. [Music] Box lost it. Rosie looking back to Favor and he set it over the top of the goal. They score. [Music] Favor fired the first one over the top of the goal, but cashes in on the rebound. his first of the year. Patience. My goodness. Bon turns this one over and then Rosie waits. Gives it to Hartman. They don’t force a shot again. Don’t force a shot. They hit Brock Faber out front and they get a great bounce. It goes off the end glass up back over the net hits and he kicks it and propels it into his own net. But great patience from the group out front. I mean, they don’t force a shot. have a few of those guys and it’s no small part of the way things have gone here tonight to see another one back in the lineup and Marcus Felino the way it’s helped solidify the team and the lines tied up on the boards a bouncy puck out front Rossi just off the bench had two whacks at it and Heluk comes up with a save in this battle I believe holding him off and then just gets it up over Hlebuck’s got no clue where this is and it drops like a can of corn Right in the slot. Ros Wild have had the better of the play through the first two periods. High danger chances 167 in Minnesota’s favor. They’ve outshot the Jets 2915. [Applause] Hartman back to Rossi into the middle. Favor fire. Save Helman. Rebound. They score. [Music] Ryan Hartman pounds it in. Minnesota leads. Right here it is. That’s Hartman on the side. Settles it down. Finds relief and now goes to the net. In the first intermission, Marcus Ringo talked about you can’t have too many guys right at the net clogging it up. Like you almost have to spread the defense of the Jets out a little bit. So Ryan Hartman moving in there does a good job. Actually looks like it goes in off the knee of Luke Shen. We’ll have to wait to see if it’s credited to Hartman or Johansson who both were there. But yeah, Hartman’s got a swipe at it. Don’t know if it Eric rides Keon into the wall and they score. [Applause] Right off the zone entry, Nether Rider and Nyquis converge at the net. Wild wingers connect on this line as Nether former Wild Wingers. Need a Ryder and Nyquist. Nyquist driving that puck to the net. And it’s I believe it’s Nether Rider who jams this one home. Yeah, good tell the stick. If it’s Nyquist, it’s his first in a jet sweater. [Music] Shot goes wide. Spurgeon fires and a save by Halleuck. Baldi down the boards. Tried to go short side. Helabuk hugging the post and he has it. Frozen. Middleton keeps it alive. Ericson threw it toward the net. It’s intercepted. Baron will blast one toward Gustoson just before the horn. And for the second consecutive night, the Wild will head to overtime. First time the Jets have gone to overtime this year. Interested onlookers from years past. They recognize the sweaters. Wild start with a puck and Capri and threw it back off target. And the Jets possess for the first time. Morrisy has it. Well, it looked like Capri off had a step on Shley, but good work by Shely to battle back. Shley drops it back to Connor. A shot. He scores and the Jets win it in overtime in the opening minute. [Applause] The Wild will have to settle for a point, but for the second game in a row in a game they trailed by two, they do earn at least a point in the standings. Puck on his stick with a chance to win it after the turnover by Capriov. And the Jets big guns Borisy Shley Connor make them pay. It’s our home furniture play of the game. Yeah, it’s it’s a miscommunication by Ek and Faber there. Shfle drops this to Connor and Connor he has an an oddlooking shot and release. It’s more of a whip from the core than it is a snap from the wrists. And Gustoson [Music]

Nino Niederreiter scored the game-tying goal midway through the third period, and Kyle Connor rifled home the game-winner 46 seconds in OT as the Winnipeg Jets rallied to defeat the Minnesota Wild 4-3.
