News
Minnesota G Niklas Backstrom gave up four goals on 17 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Canucks and was pulled by new Wild coach Todd Richards for the first time. "All you have to do is look at the standings and see there's got to be desperation and urgency with every game we play," said Richards, whose Wild are in last place in the Northwest Division. "We were behind 2-0 and then we decided to play." Josh Harding came on in Backstrom's place, returning from a lower body injury. He made four saves.
