ST. Jeff Saturday Packers Jersey . PAUL, Minn. -- Sure, the season has barely begun. The Minnesota Wild were still a bit anxious, having lost their first three games. This time, they produced the start-to-finish, end-to-end performance theyve been seeking. Matt Cooke had a goal and an assist, and Josh Harding made 14 saves for the Wild in a 2-1 victory on Thursday night over the Winnipeg Jets, their newest rival in the recreated Central Division. "I think its natural to have, for lack of a better word, a panic, but I think if you honestly looked at those games in an unbiased way we carried the play for most of it each game," Cooke said. The Wild lost all three games by one goal, two after regulation ended. Though they clung to a one-goal lead all night, they outshot the Jets 30-15 and were in control the whole time. They set a franchise record by winning 74 per cent of the faceoffs, 45 of 61. "Its the little things that add up to make a difference, and thats what we saw," coach Mike Yeo said. Jonas Brodin scored first for the Wild on Ondrej Pavelec, who stopped 28 shots. He has played all four games for the Jets and allowed 12 goals, but he didnt have any help in this one. "We never start with the puck," coach Claude Noel said. "We chased pretty much the whole night and never created very much through the neutral zone." Bryan Littles goal in the final minute of the first period during a 5-on-3 power play tied the game for the Jets, who played their second road game of the season. After scoring five goals in each of their first two games, the Jets have only three goals and 32 shots over their last two contests. "Were trying to be too cute. Were at our best when pucks are deep and we can work off the forecheck," said right wing Devin Setoguchi, facing his former team for the first time. Though Chicago is closer to Minnesota by car, Winnipeg is the nearest as-the-crow-flies city to St. Paul. The Manitobans dont miss an opportunity to take advantage of the proximity and root in person for their Jets on the road. Chants of "Lets go Jets!" were rampant up to and after the opening faceoff, particularly after Little knocked in the rebound of Tobias Enstroms shot with 42.8 seconds left in the first period. But the Wild were hit with penalties on Brodin (holding) and Kyle Brodziak (hooking) within 4 seconds of each other to set up that Jets goal, but beyond that they were nearly flawless. Winnipeg was listless at times. "I dont think we had a lot of jump," captain Andrew Ladd said. "They do a pretty good job of clogging up the neutral zone, and to get shots you have to get pucks back." Puck possession is precisely what Yeo emphasized in training camp. That was a weakness last season. The Wild have outshot their opponent in every game, including 54-19 in the second period. "Were getting good opportunities. Pucks are going to keep finding our sticks. Weve just got to bear down and put them in," left wing Zach Parise said. Yeo shuffled the lineup, moving Jason Pominville to the second line and Nino Niederreiter to the first line while sending his Cooke-led third line out to start the game. Cooke assisted on Brodins goal, taking the shot that the second-year defenceman poked in with the shaft of his stick. Then the 35-year-old left wing swooped in after a shot by Torrey Mitchell to knock a rebound under Pavelecs pad for a 2-1 lead. "We want to be at the net. We want to go at the net. We want to go to those tough areas. I want to be there as much as I can," Cooke said. Harding replaced Niklas Backstrom 12 minutes into the first period at Nashville on Tuesday night after Backstrom hurt his knee. Harding, the reigning Masterton Trophy winner after overcoming a multiple sclerosis diagnosis last year, gave up just one goal on 20 shots in 48 minutes against the Predators. He was sharp again against Winnipeg. NOTES: Little lost 19 of 20 faceoffs. ... Dustin Byfuglien had an assist for the Jets, his fifth of the season. Little has three goals, including one point in each game, and Enstrom has five assists. ... Brodin has two goals, matching his rookie total in 45 games last season. James Starks Packers Jersey .

It was almost exactly like the way Babcocks Team Canada won gold at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The result was a 2-1 Red Wings victory on Swedish Olympian Gustav Nyquists rebound goal with 28 seconds left in overtime. "(Babcock) always stressed that we play this way," said Johan Franzen, who returned from a concussion to assist on both Detroit goals. "This is how you win games. "Especially coming down the stretch here and going into the playoffs, this is how you have to play hockey. Youve got to track like never before, and always be above their guys and make it small for them so you can create turnovers. Then you give your team a lot of opportunities." Franzen set up a power-play goal 14:01 into the first period by Todd Bertuzzi for Detroit (27-20-12). Captain Brian Gionta scored for Montreal (32-21-7) with 29 seconds left in regulation time after goalie Peter Budaj was pulled for an extra attacker. Babcocks defence-first style helped Canada go 6-0 at the Olympics, surrendering only three goals along the way. Giontas goal was the first against a Babcock-coached team since Lauris Darzins got one at 15:41 of the first period of Canadas 2-1 quarter-final win over Latvia. Canada shut out the United States 1-0 in the semifinals and then topped Sweden 3-0 in the final on Sunday. "Its tough to compare," said Nyquist. "Its a different style of game on a smaller rink here. "It was an adjustment for a few guys out there. But it was nice to get the win." There were a handful of Olympians of both sides who had trickled back over the past week as their teams were eliminated. It made for slow, scrambling hockey with few good scoring chances on either side. Detroit had a 30-20 shot advantage, and fans booed as Montreal tested Jimmy Howard only twice in the second frame. "Im sure guys noticed the time differencce a bit," said Nyquist. James Jones Packers Jersey. "You have to battle through it. "It was the middle of the night in Sochi, but weve been back for three days and were starting to get it back. Well get some sleep before we play in Ottawa (on Thursday night)." The Canadiens salvaged a point when Gionta collected a puck at the side of the net in a scramble and backhanded the tying goal into a top corner. "The execution was not there tonight for both teams," said Montreal coach Michel Therrien. "Both teams played solid defensively. "There wasnt much space on the ice. But we put ourselves in position to get a point. Its disappointing that we didnt score in overtime or get to the shootout." Franzen fed Bertuzzi at the edge of the crease for a power-play goal 14:01 into the game after Canadian Olympian P.K. Subban was called for roughing. Bertuzzi returned to the lineup after missing eight games with an upper-body problem. Franzen had sat out six in a row and 21 of the last 22 with his concussion, but said he felt fine after the game. In overtime, Franzen tipped a Danny DeKeyser shot and the rebound went to Nyquist for a shot into an open side. Budaj had been slated to start in goal for Montreal even before Canadian Olympian Carey Price suffered a lower-body injury during the teams game-day skate. He is to start again when Montreal visits Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The 21,273 at the Bell Centre gave a rousing ovation to 12 members of Canadian mens and womens hockey gold medallist teams from the Sochi Olympics in a pre-game ceremony. The biggest cheers went to Marie-Philip Poulin, who had two goals in the womens final, and to Babcock and Canadiens players Price and Subban. Notes: Canadiens Alex Galchenyuk and Travis Moen returned from injuries, but Michael Bournival and Brandon Prust remain sidelined. Goaltender Dustin Tokarski was recalled from AHL Hamilton. . . The Red Wings played the 3,000th road game of their history. They are 1,086-1,439-475 away from Detroit.
