(St. Paul, MN) — Despite blowing a third period lead, Ryan Hartman scored with 20.4 seconds left in regulation to lift the Wild to a 4-3 win over the Predators. Kirill Kaprizov scored twice and Brandon Duhaime also got on the board to help the Wild build a 3-1 lead early in the third but Roman Josi and Nino Niederreiter combined to erase that two goal cushion. Niederreiter’s goal game with 47 seconds left in the game and it looked like the game was headed for overtime until Hartman defected a Jonas Brodin shot past the goaltender to give the Wild a second straight win. The Wild are 3-2-1 in the first six games of the seven game homestand which concludes on Tuesday against Kevin Fiala and the Los Angeles Kings.
