He made three saves on an early penalty kill, caught a break when New Jersey botched a 3-on-1 look and rattled off 13 stops in a row before the Devils finally converted. Paul Cotter buried a one-timer in tight with 3 minutes, 39 seconds to go in the first period.

After perhaps the wildest sequence of events they'll see all season, the Red Wings beat the Kings in a shootout late Thursday night.

Victor Olofsson had his first career NHL hat trick and added two assists, Nathan MacKinnon scored two goals, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the New Jersey Devils 8-4 on Tuesday night in the second game in three days between the teams.

The team’s power play is struggling, and it can’t find a way to score even strength. A six-game homestand, however, is up next.

The Wild won once in five tries on this early-season road trip and will now look to gain some momentum at home.
