The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Minnesota Wild two weeks ago on a last-minute goal. They almost won again with the same strategy. Montreal scored near the end of the first and second periods before a first-minute finish in the third forced the Wild to rally 4-3 in overtime Monday at Grand Casino Arena for their fourth consecutive victory.

But even with that in mind, Hughes continues to amaze so far in his tenure with the Wild. He's playing so well that he has already tied a Minnesota franchise record in just 25 games. It took Ryan Suter a total of 656 games to compile five games of three-plus assists, the Wild record for a defenseman, according to Jack Jablonski.

Quinn Hughes had a goal and an assist to set a franchise record for defensemen by extending his point streak to eight games in the Minnesota Wild's 7-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers.

Minnesota Wild President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Bill Guerin today announced the National Hockey League (NHL) club has recalled goaltender Cal Petersen under emergency conditions from Iowa Wild of the American Hockey League (AHL).
