Wild shut out in first loss of the John Hynes era

Vancouver survived a red hot start by the visitors to end Minnesota's four-game winning streak and hand John Hynes his first loss as coach of the Wild with a 2-0 win.

Minnesota held the highest scoring team in the league without a shot through the opening 13 minutes of the game, outshooting the Canucks 10-0 in that frame. Despite the complete dominance, the Wild were unable to find a way to get the puck past Vancouver's Casey DeSmith.

Vancouver didn't need a lot of chances, scoring on their fourth shot. Nils Hoglander scored his second goal of the season using Brock Faber to screen his own goaltender on a 3-on-2 fastbreak.
