How Wild plan to fix power play, adjust lineup for Game 4 vs. Stars: Notebook

ST. PAUL, Minn – Before the start of Friday’s practice, the only Minnesota Wild players on the ice were those on the team’s power play units.Each five-man group took turns breaking the puck out, executing the drop pass and entering the zone.With no defenders.Coach John Hynes has done this at times to give his special teams some work, and it’s badly needed now as the Wild enter Saturday’s Game 4 trailing the Dallas Stars 2-1 in their best-of-seven series. A big reason why: The Minnesota power play has fizzled out, going a combined 1 for 11 over the past two games.They were 1 for 7 in the double overtime loss in Game 3 alone, including two in OT.Advertisement
