NHL Highlights | Wild vs. Blues | October 09, 2025

Straight communicators both representing 
hockey east main for Jim Montgomery and Boston University. John Hines. This is going to 
be a good one. Both teams both coach. Opening faceoff won by the Blues. They send it down into 
the Minnesota zone. Favor sends that one down into the corner over to Hartman. Slings it right there 
at the line again. Coming back. Shot gets blocked down off Tucker. Loose in front and Brober’s able 
to play it away to the far wing. Folks going to rub it loose on the far side. We’re back at even 
strength. No shots on goal allowed by the Blues on that Minnesota power play. And that penalty that 
just came 34 seconds in. Blues hope to now get a stretch of five on five as Holloway enters the 
Minnesota zone. He’s chased by Favor. Kyru led the team in goal scoring each of the last three years. 
Shoots it on. Gustoson the save. Per crashing to the net. Trainer job’s easy. So you keep the same 
name, keep the same number. That’s one way to get the trainer on your good side right away. Tucker 
with a long shot. Gustiffson the save into the corner. Joseph thanks for it. Here’s Neighbors 
who had a careerhigh in points last year. The Wild will clear it out. Get it down the near wing. 
Tren into the goal and a save by Penn Bennington. They’re off to great starts here early on. Bugstat 
on the defensive zone draw. The Wild will win it. Joe Hansen sends it along the near wing. They 
tried to spin it to the front of the net where the Shen behind the net. That hands it to the near 
point. Kyrie taking that spot with Faulk having pinched in. Ken Faulk rips a shot blocker saved 
by Gustoson. 7 minutes into the first period. [Applause] Either team scoring yet. Kyru dances at 
the line. Drop pass to the far side. Per back to Kyu. Shot deflected on and another rebound covered 
up. Pigs all got a Stanley Cup championship. Goldie to the middle of the ice. It goes far 
away. Bennington pops over and pop the puck away. Joseph will clear to center. What a 
beautiful save right there. He makes a nice hard push off the right. Slides over just in 
time. Flips him right off the left shoulder. Down into the corner it goes. That’s Joseph. 
Wild player. Lost his stick. Blue shooting to the front. I’m broadcasting with my thighs. 
Kyrie brings it in. Nice through the legs and a shot. That one blocked just wide. Comes back 
into the middle towards the goal. Kicked away. Gustoson all the way through. So four minutes 
out of the first 13 have been penalty killing minutes for the Blues. Joseph down in the corner. 
Bounced to the boards by Middleton. Sudter shoots it on. Hartman will clear past Kyu. Mayu knocks 
it down with his glove. Johansson knocked it over the line and Hartman stick handles in. Five hole 
scores. Ryan Hartman walked it to the blue paint. Minnesota up one- nothing over Dylan Holloway. 
Here’s the pull up and the pass right there. Holloway’s right there. But as the puck’s coming 
to Hartman, he actually one touches it. Bam. Right over the blade. Here it is. Pop. He just goes one 
touch right over Holloway. It’s just a heck of a play. You got to tip your hat sometimes. And then 
Hartman certainly gets a little bit of putt luck as Mayu is going to lay out Capri off. He’ll clear 
it out. Capri off only playing 41 games last year. Goan into the slot. Thomas lost his stick. Baldi 
goes far wing. Capri off banned on the shot. It goes back to him in front. Deflection and score. 
Baldi deflects a Capri off shot over the shoulder of Bennington. Two nothing Minnesota. 230 to 
go. first period. His points just continue to tally up. You’re going to see the one-time for 
Capri off. He ends up just missing right there. And then it’s just too much time and space for 
Baldi all alone. Break down when you got Thomas and you got Fowler behind the net. No one’s in 
front. Reco will clear Thomas into the Minnesota zone. Use his speed to go around Favor. Hits the 
trailer. Ball wrist shot deflected off Gustoson. to won three of the four regular season matchups 
between these two teams last year. Walker’s going to fire one, bounce it to the goal. Gustson 
holds on for pinching to hold it along the wall for the Blues. He kicks that to Blitch. 
Navage walks off the wall. Saucers the Tucker who pitched in that one right to the shoulder 
of Gustoson play. Well, it’s a broken play, but Prao’s going to pinch down. Watch how he uses 
his skate. Bam. He just used it with the right blade. He’s going to kick it down low. Oh, you’re 
going to find Tyler Tucker on the backside. Pabush navs. What a beautiful pass. Look how he puts 
a little bit of air underneath it. Why? Because he’s got to go through two bodies. He’s got Foley 
there. He’s got Spurgeon. You see the sticks right there. He knows. So, Tyler Tucker is no stranger 
to scoring in the opening night. Almost puts one away right there. Tucker on the near side. He does 
have a heavy shot, too. They give Kyro a walk in and his shot hit the side of the net. Pulled the 
fans in behind the goal. No call. We’re going to stay five on five hockey almost four minutes 
into this period. What a change. But then St. is all over him. Butch Navage walk a check shoots 
it. Save the rebound there and there’s the penalty back of the net or drawing a penalty. What 
a play by right there. You’re going to see the hook right on the backside. One-time fake 
by Shen looks in front. Missed Navich on the deflection recovered by Snugaroo. Watch Bavich 
here. Watch. He’s in. Snugaroo shoots it on but Gustoson there to make the save. Kyro to the goal 
line. Neighbors finding Kyrie back to Neighbors in front. Folk shooting and another save. Gustiffson 
block and blue shots here in this one as Shen stick handles around a broken stick. They get 
it in. Kyru with a move to the front trying to tuck it home. Denied by the stick of Gustoson. 
That’s how this game has gone folks. You see the bounces going in favor of the Minnesota 
Wild at first and Kyu just can’t sneak it in. Third penalty kill of the game for the 
Blues. Off the post, rebound in. Ericson makes it three nothing Minnesota here in the 
second period. Power play goal. You know, you’re going to see a faceoff win. Heck of an 
effort on the wall there by Vladimir Terasingo to keep this puck alive. And then you’re going to 
see Minnesota go to a setup. It’s a tip by Carill Capri off. Bennington can’t handle it. Look at 
that little tip right there by Carill. Yeah, there’s nothing Bennington can do about that right 
there. goes from tip to post sitting right behind Bennington in that blue paint. That’s about 
as easy of a goal here in front. Trended. Boy, they had Johansson all alone for the deflection. 
That’s a good save by Bennington. Pero gets hooked by Hartman. They didn’t see that one and a shot 
in and score. Colton Perco be a little fired up there as the Wild have made it four to nothing. 
He thought he was hooked by Hartman prior to that. Yeah, look at Buchavic. He is absolutely 
barking backside. You’re going to see him right here. Here’s Hartman. We’re going to see it 
right there. Well, it looks like it looks like Pareo’s stick gets caught between the legs of 
Hartman. He kind of throws up both his hands. I’ll have to see maybe one more look at it. Here’s 
a good look right here. Yeah, Pareo’s stick. Oh, you know what? He he collapses his thighs, right? 
He stick down. He collapses his thighs. So he grabs his stick in the middle between his inner 
thighs and he collapses on us and a puck’s carried by Thomas. Now Mayu back to Thomas shooting. He 
scores. That’s in the post. No, I think that thing went in, Joe. I think it went in. Yeah, look at 
this. Yeah, here’s your bomb robo cam. What a shot across the body. Gus doesn’t see it. Hits the iron 
and straight out. Boy, you even see that. That one from our angle looked like it had gone in. Hold 
in front. Rossy. He put that one over to the far wing. This line’s finding some early chemistry. 
It’s knocked down in front. Rossy there and he scores. Minnesota’s put a handful on the Blues 
here in the home opener. 1233 to go in the third. 5 nothing Minnesota. But now shortly after that 
again the Blues ice it. Minnesota gets their top line out there. hits the backside of Tucker. 
You want to talk about another great bounce for Minnesota? This has been the theme. Hits the 
backside, lands on opening night as the final horn sounds and the Minnesota Wild open the season with 
a five nothing win against the St. Louis blues.
