ST. PAUL Womens Deryk Engelland Jersey , Minn. (AP) — the Minnesota Wild were eager to get back on home ice. They took out their recent frustrations on the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.Matt Dumba continued his high-scoring start with two goals, Devan Dubnyk made 29 saves and the Wild rebounded from a disappointing road trip in a 7-1 victory.“I think that’s all the boys had on their mind, was kind of redeeming ourselves,” Dumba said.The Wild scored four times in the second period to recover from a lousy swing through Western Canada, when Minnesota dropped two of three and lost captain Mikko Koivu to injury.Nino Niederreiter, Charlie Coyle, Eric Staal, Jared Spurgeon and Zach Parise also scored for Minnesota (16-12-2) James Neal Jersey , which went 4 for 4 on the power play.Jeff Petry scored for Montreal (15-11-5), which ended a three-game winning streak.“Give them all the credit,” Montreal’s Brendan Gallagher said. “They outplayed us in every facet. But, did they see our best effort? No. It’s not the way that we need to play”After taking a 1-0 lead on Niederreiter’s first-period goal, the Wild exploded in the second period. Dumba started the outburst when he cashed in on the first penalty of the game. He ripped a shot off a cross-ice feed from Mikael Granlund for a 2-0 lead on the power play.“Everyone came to play tonight,” Dumba said. “We just need more of that. When everyone shows up, we’re a really good team.”Coyle made it 3-0 with a short-handed goal at 12:33. He ripped a back-handed shot past Antti Niemi.Staal followed up his own rebound at 14:58 to make it 4-0, and with 1.7 seconds left in the period, Spurgeon added a second power-play goal with a one-timer.The Wild haven’t had a lot of stress-free moments recently. They came into Tuesday’s game having lost five of six and eight of 12. The four-goal second period alleviated any nerves.“A win where the coach isn’t going nuts behind the bench Jonathan Marchessault Jersey , a really good game from the goalie and some guys that hadn’t been able to score recently got a chance to get some numbers,” Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. “That’s always a good thing.”Dumba added another power-play goal early in the third. He leads NHL defensemen with 12 goals and six power-play goals.After Petry’s goal briefly stopped the wave of Minnesota pressure, the lead quickly returned to six when, on another power play, Spurgeon found Parise with a blueline-to-blueline pass and Parise buried his 14th goal of the season.“For us as a group, it was a really good response,” Parise said.Niemi made 17 saves before giving way to Carey Price. Montreal started its three-game road trip with wins over Ottawa and Chicago. The Canadiens had won four of their previous five.“We talked about it all day and we had an opportunity to go back home with a perfect record on this road trip and we needed to be ready to play, but that’s exactly what happened,” Canadiens coach Claude Julien said. “We weren’t ready to play Marc-Andre Fleury Jersey , we weren’t ready to do the things that we needed to do to win and when you don’t do that you get exposed like you did (tonight).”NOTES: Minnesota was playing its second game without Koivu, who was injured during Thursday’s 2-0 loss in Calgary. The Wild also were in danger of losing their third consecutive home game. The last time they lost three or more games in St. Paul was March 23-28, 2017. … Staal has 44 points in 47 games against Montreal.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host Carolina on Thursday night.Wild: Host Florida on Thursday night. LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired defenseman Jake Muzzin from the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night for a first-round pick and two prospects, bolstering their blue line with a Stanley Cup-winning veteran.Los Angeles gets forward Carl Grundstrom and the rights to unsigned defenseman Sean Durzi in the deal, along with a first-round pick in 2019.Muzzin is a steady veteran defenseman signed through next season at a salary cap hit of $4 million. The blue line has been Toronto’s biggest weakness this season, and Muzzin could be a top-four defenseman for the Leafs, perhaps fitting in their top pairing with Morgan Rielly.“The key is his ability to play at the top end of our defense, play in all situations, play against the other team’s top players Nate Schmidt Jersey ,” Toronto general manager Kyle Dubas said. “He’s proven himself over a good career now to be able to move the puck, to excel at playing against high-quality competition and to contribute offensively.”The 29-year-old Muzzin has four goals and 17 assists in 50 games this season, struggling at times along with his teammates in the last-place Kings’ miserable year.“I was a little shocked to get the phone call,” Muzzin said. “You hear rumblings and rumors and stuff like that and you just continue on with your ways until it actually happens and everything sinks in. Very excited to join Toronto.”His departure is the biggest sign yet that general manager Rob Blake is willing to reboot the roster of a club with just one playoff victory in the past four seasons since its second Stanley Cup title.The Kings (20-26-4) sit last in the Western Conference with 44 points from 50 games.“I think we’re in a position where we’re looking up every day at the standings,” Blake said. “We’re not happy about where we are. We’re not comfortable with where we are, and now we have to make decisions for the best of the organization going forward.”After going undrafted in 2009 and signing with Los Angeles as a free agent, Muzzin played his way into a steady NHL career with the Kings. He was a key contributor during their run to the 2014 title, scoring 12 points in 26 playoff games.Muzzin struggled through the 2016-17 season with 28 points and a minus-21 rating, but he bounced back last season with a career-high 42 points.Blake thinks Muzzin will handle the transition to the Eastern Conference easily after a career in the West.“I think he’s an elite defenseman http://www.goldenknightsshoponline.com/authentic-oscar-dansk-jersey ,” Blake said. “He’s going to bring the physical aspect, but he has poise and patience to make plays. I think the adjustment will come naturally for him because he is a top defenseman.”Grundstrom, 21, was a second-round pick in 2016 and has 29 points in 42 games with Toronto’s AHL affiliate this season. The 20-year-old Durzi, a second-round pick last year, has 28 points in 26 games this season in the Ontario Hockey League. Blake said the Kings like Durzi’s offensive abilities.
