McTavish stole a cross-ice pass from Kirill Kaprizov in the Minnesota zone and scored between the pads of Fleury on a breakaway. Shortly after another 4-on-4 situation ended, Fleury made a save on Sam Carrick's short-handed breakaway at 13:40. The Wild tied it 1-1 at 16:03. Dewar was closely defended by Carrick when he spun and shot the puck from the left point, but it appeared to glance off Ducks defenseman Nathan Beaulieu and into the net.

Rangers score four straight in third, defeat Golden Knights LAS VEGAS -- Mika Zibanejad scored twice on the power play as part of the
New York Rangers' four-goal third period in a 5-1 victory against the Vegas
13 goals against per game, the fewest in the NHL. They also lead the League in goals at 4. 00 per game. Boston is a dynamic team that has gone through the gauntlet of late, facing the Tampa Bay Lightning twice, and the Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes and defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche, all in the past two weeks. And now comes Vegas.
Golden Knights look to slow down Bruins in Cassidy's returnBOSTON -- A twinkle appeared in Chandler Stephenson's eye at the thought. Would the Vegas Golden Knights forward and his teammates like to not only defeat the Boston Bruins on Monday but also end Boston's 14-game winning streak at TD Garden? How about getting a win for coach Bruce Cassidy, who was fired by the Bruins on June 6 after six successful seasons? "Yeah, I think so, " Stephenson said with a smile. "I'm sure that all the guys on the team want to win for him, help him out in that way. So, I think that yeah, that's something the guys will be thinking about and he'll be thinking about, for sure.
Our group has made a commitment to keeping it out of the net and, obviously, our goaltenders are first and foremost making stops. "Mason McTavish scored, and Lukas Dostal started for the second straight night and made 38 saves for the Ducks (9-22-3) in the opener of a 10-game homestand. Dostal made 37 saves in a 4-1 loss at the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. "Just too many penalties, " McTavish said. "Just giving them chances and playing with fire. "Video: MIN@ANA: Boldy nets 12th goal of season in 3rd periodBoldy gave Minnesota a 2-1 lead at 4:46 of the third period. He prevented a clearing pass from exiting the Wild zone along the boards, then skated in and scored on a wrist shot from the inside edge of the right face-off circle.
"It was tough for [Dostal] to pick that one up, " McTavish said. "I don't think anybody even saw it. "Dewar earlier missed a wide-open net after Mason Shaw stole a pass from Dostal behind the net and fed Dewar, but his shot slid at 2:50 of the first period. "I felt bad for 'Shawzy, ' " Dewar said. "He made a nice play to me. Got a bit of it, but not enough. "Ducks forward Trevor Zegras hit the post off a rush at 12:44 of the first, and Fleury then made a pad save on Ryan Strome on the rebound.
"For us, lately, we're trying to make it about us, trying to focus on our game, " Stephenson said. "Still trying to figure things out. Still trying to make it seamless so every night we come in, know what to expect. I think that's something that right now we're focusing on because it's not where we want to be. "The Golden Knights had lost three of their past four games before defeating the Red Wings but still hold the top record in the West. It isn't too shabby for a team that some thought might struggle without goalie Robin Lehner, who is not expected to play this season because of a hip injury.
"It's just an added wrinkle to a meeting between two of the titans of the Eastern and Western Conferences on Monday (7 p. m. ET; TVAS, NESN, ATTSN-RM, ESPN+, SN NOW). The Bruins (20-3-0) and Golden Knights (18-7-1) are two of the top three teams in the NHL, with only the New Jersey Devils ahead in points. Boston (. 870) and Vegas (. 712) are the best in points percentage in each conference. It's East versus West. It's the Bruins facing their former coach as they look to extend their NHL-record home winning streak to begin a season to 15 games. This may even be a sneak peek of the 2023 Stanley Cup Final. But that's a long way away. For now, both teams are simply looking at this game and the challenge that awaits. "We're learning that every team is going to give us their best, " Boston forward Taylor Hall said last week.
"Just a good team game, " Evason said. "We defend well, block a lot of shots, get rebounds, (and) get people away from our eyes so we can see the puck. "NOTES: Wild forward Mats Zuccarello had his 10-game point streak (seven goals, nine assists) end. … Anaheim is down to its third goalie with Anthony Stolarz (lower body) and John Gibson (undisclosed) injured. They are day to day.... Boldy has seven points (three goals, four assists in his past six games....
Hartman blocked a shot by Simon Benoit that appeared headed for an open net six seconds before Boldy scored. "That's game changing, " Boldy said. "We score right after. It's swings like that when you have everyone going. "The Wild scored on their fifth of six power plays to make it 3-1 at 8:54. Calen Addison took a slap shot from the right point and Eriksson Ek deflected the puck into the net. Hartman scored into an empty net with 1:48 left for the 4-1 final. "That's the disappointing thing because 5-on-5, we actually played quite well, " Ducks coach Dallas Eakins said. "But you leave the game and you have a sour taste in your mouth because all of the penalties took us out of our rhythm. "Video: MIN@ANA: McTavish starts scoring in 2nd periodAnaheim took a 1-0 lead during 4-on-4 play at 5:48 of the second period.
Boldy's 3 points help Wild defeat Ducks for 6th straight winANAHEIM -- Matt Boldy had a goal and two assists, and the Minnesota Wild won their season-high sixth straight game, 4-1 against the Anaheim Ducks at Honda Center on Wednesday. Connor Dewar, Joel Eriksson Ek and Ryan Hartman scored, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 21 saves for Minnesota (19-11-2), which has won 13 straight against Anaheim. Fleury and Filip Gustavsson have each started three games during the winning streak and combined to allow six goals. "Every coach obviously preaches defense-first and we certainly have, " Wild coach Dean Evason said. "We gave up a lot of goals early in the season.
Instead, Logan Thompson has been a revelation in goal and has a 12-5-0 record with a 2. 54 goals-against average,. 920 save percentage and two shutouts. Cassidy compared the rookie to one of his former goalies, Jeremy Swayman, who went 23-14-0 with a. 914 save percentage last season under him. This season, with Swayman and Linus Ullmark -- who leads the League in GAA (1. 93) and save percentage (. 936) - the Bruins have allowed 2.
"Sometimes that's good for your team, to play that team now. Being out a couple of guys will make it more difficult, but then sometimes your game simplifies when you're missing key players. And I think our team has responded to good teams. "Vegas will be without defenseman Alex Pietrangelo who has missed the past three games due to a personal issue. It may be without leading scorer Jack Eichel, who left in the third period of a 4-1 win against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday with an apparent lower-body injury. Eichel, who has 29 points (13 goals, 16 assists) in 26 games this season, is a game-time decision.
