The Minnesota Wild have delivered a forceful and punishing performance to take the lead in their first-round NHL playoff series with the Dallas Stars.
Joel Eriksson Ek, their best center, could be sidelined again after he missed the first two games and had his Game 3 return cut short by an apparent aggravation of the leg injury he originally suffered more than two weeks ago on a blocked shot.
The Stars, of course, are missing center Joe Pavelski after the hard hit he took from Wild defenseman Matt Dumba in Game 1. The rough stuff and the tough talk has kept up from both sides and figures to continue through the end of the Central Division series."Things weren't good last year so we've talked a lot about that that we have to learn from those situations," Evason said. "Time will tell, but hopefully we have.
The Hurricanes are also without forwards Max Pacioretty and Andrei Svechnikov to major injuries. The absences sure haven't helped the Carolina power play, which is just 3 for 14 in the series. The Panthers got Sergei Bobrovsky some work in the net in the third period of Game 3, though coach Paul Maurice stressed that switching goalies wasn't an indictment of starter Alex Lyon.
