Matt Boldy<\/a> had a goal and an assist, and Mats Zuccarello<\/a> and Ryan Hartman<\/a> each had two assists for the Wild (44-21-12), who have won three straight and four of their past five games, including a 4-1 victory at the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Filip Gustavsson<\/a>\u00a0made 18 saves.<\/p>\n

The win moved Minnesota within two points of the idle Dallas Stars for second place in the Central Division. Each has five games remaining.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not had that situation for a quite a while, where we lose momentum for an extended period like that,\u201d Wild coach John Hynes said. \u201cI\u2019m glad it happened, because there are things we can learn from that going forward, and we still found a way to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Axel Sandin-Pellikka<\/a>, J.T. Compher<\/a> and Patrick Kane<\/a> scored in the third for the Red Wings (40-29-8), who have lost four of five, including 4-1 at the New York Rangers on Saturday. Cam Talbot<\/a>\u00a0made 15 saves.<\/p>\n

The Red Wings entered in a four-way points tie for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference with the Senators, Philadelphia Flyers and Columbus Blue Jackets. Ottawa holds the first tiebreaker with the most regulation wins of the four (33) and is hosting the Carolina Hurricanes later Sunday; Philadelphia is hosting the Boston Bruins.<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow is a day off, so we need to regroup and get ready to bring as much intensity and jam as we can on Tuesday,\u201d Detroit center Andrew Copp<\/a>\u00a0said. \u201cWe\u2019re not six feet under yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Red Wings visit the Blue Jackets on Tuesday in the first of five regular-season games remaining for each team.<\/p>\n

Minnesota scored four goals in the second period to take a 4-1 lead, but Detroit rallied in the third with three goals in a span of 7:18.<\/p>\n

Sandin-Pellikka cut it to 4-2 at 7:18 with a long wrist shot through traffic.<\/p>\n

Compher made it 4-3 at 11:14, getting to the back door to tip in Simon Edvinsson<\/a>\u2019s pass across the slot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matt Boldy had a goal and an assist, and Mats Zuccarello and Ryan Hartman each had two assists…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542737,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5104],"tags":[5,4,72,25,5157,73],"class_list":{"0":"post-542783","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ottawa-senators","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-nhl","10":"tag-ottawa","11":"tag-ottawa-senators","12":"tag-ottawasenators","13":"tag-senators"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116354399957167014","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542783","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542783"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542783\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542783"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542783"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542783"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
