A Kaprizov hat trick and a timeout turning point in Wild's nail-biting win: Takeaways

DETROIT — Minnesota Wild coach John Hynes was so hot, so animated, during a third-period timeout that you kind of wished he was mic’d up.“I don’t think you want that,” Hynes joked. “Maybe you do.”But it was a tipping point in Sunday’s game in Detroit — and another key lesson for the playoffs — when Hynes pulled the group together at the bench with 8:46 to go in the third period. The Red Wings, fighting for their playoff lives, had erased a 4-1 Wild lead to tie it up. You could see Hynes yelling, moving his arms in different directions.The message?“Don’t panic,” Kirill Kaprizov said. “Play our game.”“Stay calm,” Brock Faber said.“Continue to attack,” Hynes said.Advertisement
