Game Recap: Wild 6, Islanders 3 | Minnesota Wild

Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri each had a goal and an assist for the Islanders (25-23-7), who lost 4-3 at the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. Ilya Sorokin made 27 saves.

“I guess we didn’t have the legs to come back in the third period,” New York coach Patrick Roy said. “I mean, when you play back-to-back catch-up hockey, may be a little tougher to do, especially against the team that’s rested.”

Gaudreau brought the Wild within 3-2 at 13:21 of the second on the power play with a one-timer from the top of the right circle that deflected off Islanders defenseman Tony DeAngelo’s stick and over Sorokin’s shoulder.

Boldy tipped a Jonas Brodin shot low to beat Sorokin and tie the game 3-3 at 17:59, then Trenin gave Minnesota a 4-3 lead at 18:50 when he tipped Jake Middleton’s shot in front.

“We stayed mentally strong,” Trenin said. “We didn’t get down after that third goal and then power play came up huge to score a big goal. Kept us in the game and gave us some momentum.”

Boldy pushed it to 5-3 at 5:53 of the third period, fending off Palmieri as he drove to the net and sending a centering pass into the crease that went in off DeAngelo’s stick.

“It’s unfortunate. I mean we put two in our own net,” Roy said. “And those games happen. You don’t like when they happen but they’re part of it.”

Listen: Messy winter weather on its way to northern Minnesota

Our newsroom occasionally reports stories under a byline of “staff.” Often, the “staff” byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.

Winter Weather Advisory In Minnesota: Rain Turns To Snow, Brace For 10 Inches In Some Areas

UNDATED (WJON News) — Enjoy one more mild February day.

The National Weather Service says we’ll start seeing changes on Tuesday, with showers and even thunderstorm chances developing in the afternoon and evening.

A transition from rain to snow is expected on Wednesday across western and central Minnesota, though the heavy snow with this initial system will fall across northern Minnesota.

There is a Winter Storm Watch issued for several counties in northern Minnesota. That will be in effect from Tuesday evening through Thursday morning.

Total snow accumulations between 5 and 10 inches except between 7 and 13 inches for the higher terrain of the North Shore, and ice accumulations of around one-tenth of an inch are possible. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph.

The next potential system arrives Thursday night with mainly snow, with accumulating snow currently favoring southeast Minnesota into western Wisconsin Thursday night into Friday.

St. Cloud has had 2.7 inches of snow so far in February, which is 1.8 inches below normal. We’ve had 30.5 inches of snow so far for this season, which is average.
