Friday (Dubnyk, a familiar type of goalie, gives Wild a chance) edition: Wha' Happened?
He’s only had six starts, so it’s far too early to proclaim Devan Dubnyk any type of savior for the Wild. What we do know after six starts, though, are these things: *He gives the Wild a chance this year that it flat-out wouldn’t have had without him. Minnesota had a 9 percent chance of making the playoffs at the All-Star break, according to their record and a simulation of the rest of the season from Hockey Reference. Since then, Minnesota has 2-1 and 1-0 wins on the road. Dubnyk was solid in the first; he was spectacular in the second, a blanking of Calgary on Thursday in which me...

Wild: No discipline with Matt Cooke on receiving end of a hit
CALGARY, Alberta -- After the NHL determined a questionable hit from Edmonton Oilers forward Rob Klinkhammers' hit Tuesday night on the Wild's Matt Cooke did not call for supplementary discipline, Cooke said he would like to think the league would have made the same ruling had it been him that delivered the blow.

Wednesday (More memorable: Coyle or Parise?) edition: Wha' Happened?
You see hockey players take pucks to the face fairly regularly, unfortunately. You also see beautiful NHL goals on a nightly basis. But the Wild’s Zach Parise and Charlie Coyle went above and beyond the call of duty in those respective categories Tuesday in Minnesota’s 2-1 win over Edmonton (a win the Wild badly needed coming out of the break). Parise was nailed by a puck in the first period, and the damage was bad enough to knock out a tooth. The cliche is that hockey players are tough, but MY GOODNESS it does take some toughness to get hit with the puck, lose a tooth and then be able to...

Wild: Watch Zach Parise's tooth extracted by a puck in Edmonton
Hockey fans are used to seeing players sporting mouths half-full of teeth. Comes with the territory in a rough sport filled with flying elbows, sticks and pucks.
