SUNRISE http://www.officialflyersproshop.com/authentic-adidas-shayne-gostisbehere-jersey , Fla. (AP) — back from a crushing loss in a big way.Aleksander Barkov set a franchise record with five assists, and defensemen MacKenzie Weegar and Mike Matheson each scored twice as the Panthers beat the Minnesota Wild 6-2 on Friday night to snap a six-game losing streak.The Panthers lost 4-3 in Boston on Thursday night when the Bruins scored twice in the final 37 seconds.“It was probably the toughest loss we ever had, 30 seconds away from a perfect 60-minute game against a really good team,” Barkov said. “Coming here, we had two choices — either forget about the last game and play as hard as we could this game, or just feel sorry about ourselves. I think we really played our butts off and deserved the win.”Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and three assists, Mike Hoffman also scored and Evgenii Dadonov added three assists. Sam Montembeault made 26 saves in his second career start for his first NHL win.“It’s great,” Montembeault said. “It’s obviously good to put it behind me. Now next game I can just go out there and play my game and not even think about anything.”Barkov appeared to have scored a goal as well, but it came a split second after the second period ended. He expressed appreciation to his teammates for helping him break the assists mark.“Of course, it’s a nice milestone,” Barkov said. “I just gave the puck to my own players and they scored. I’m thankful for them.”The line of Barkov Travis Konecny Jersey , Huberdeau and Dadonov combined for 12 points.“We needed that today,” Panthers coach Bob Boughner said. “We needed someone to put us on their back and carry us a little bit early and that was Barky’s line, for sure.”Weegar and Matheson’s two goals apiece marked the first time in Panthers history two defensemen scored two or more in the same game.Marcus Foligno and J.T. Brown scored for the Wild, who had their eight-game point streak stopped. Devan Dubnyk allowed three goals on seven shots before he was replaced by Alex Stalock to start the second period. Stalock stopped 19 shots.The Wild had beaten Tampa Bay 3-0 on Thursday night.“Obviously, we didn’t have the same kind of jump that we had against Tampa,” coach Bruce Boudreau said. “Those are the things that make coaches go nuts because we needed it and we didn’t show up.”Florida stretched its lead to 5-1 when Matheson scored with a wrist shot from the right circle at 17:40 of the second period. The Wild answered 15 seconds later on Foligno’s tap-in.Matheson’s second goal came on a wraparound at 10:23 of the third and made it 6-2.Hoffman’s one-timer from the right circle during a 5-on-3 power play gave the Panthers a 4-0 lead at 3:34 of the second.Brown deflected a shot by Jonas Brodin into the net to make it 4-1 at 9:02 of the second.The Panthers took a 3-0 lead on seven shots in the first period. They went up 1-0 on Huberdeau’s goal 61 seconds in. Barkov passed from behind the net to Huberdeau in front and he skipped the puck into the net.Weegar, who had one goal in 49 games this season, scored two in a span of 1:40.His first goal gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead when his wrist shot from the point bounced off the back of Minnesota’s Ryan Suter and across the goal line at 16:51.Weegar stretched it to 3-0 on his second goal, a shot from the top of the right circle that got past Dubnyk at 18:31.A potential goal by Aaron Ekblad midway through the first period was disallowed after Minnesota successfully challenged for offside. Barkov would have had another assist if the goal had counted.NOTES: Panthers G James Reimer returned after missing five games with a lower-body injury and backed up Montembeault, who is now a regular recall. The Panthers will go with three goalies the rest of the season. … Wild C Luke Kunin was scratched with an upper-body injury sustained in Thursday’s game at Tampa Bay.UP NEXTWild: Host the San Jose Sharks on Monday.Panthers: Host the Detroit Red Wings on Sunday. ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) When Minnesota Wild owner Craig Leipold entered the team’s new practice facility a couple of weeks ago Adam Cracknell Jersey Womens , the organizational motto was staring him in the face.So was the advice he should make a change in the front office, despite his fondness of general manager Chuck Fletcher.”It’s the first thing you see when you walk in the door: `Good is not good enough,”’ Leipold said. ”I felt that was a signal for me.”The Wild split with Fletcher after nine seasons and only two playoff series wins, a decision – ”very agonizing,” Leipold said – that the 25-year veteran of NHL management would not have his contract renewed was delivered in a Monday morning meeting.”I wanted a new set of eyes on this team,” Leipold said.The Wild have six straight postseason appearances, matching the longest current streak in the Western Conference with the Anaheim Ducks, but they have not reached the second round since 2015. They were only 15-29 in playoff games during Fletcher’s tenure, enough evidence that the roster wasn’t built well enough for all the success the team has enjoyed in the regular season.”Right now I just don’t see us with this team getting to the championship series. I just don’t see it,” Leipold said. ”I think we’re a good team. I really do, and I just talked to our players about this. They’re a good team Wayne Simmonds Jersey , but they’re not good enough right now.”Since Fletcher stunned the NHL by signing left wing Zach Parise and defenseman Ryan Suter, the market’s most-coveted free agents in 2012, the Wild have been a runaway success on the business side with sellouts at Xcel Energy Center as routine as the aroma of mini donuts and the swish of the skates on the ice. The fans have been frustrated by the postseason plateau, though, and Leipold bluntly acknowledged he dismissed Fletcher in part to appease the customers.”The fans deserve to win one here,” Leipold said. ”This is the state of hockey, and I’m really confident that we’re going to have candidates that are interested in coming here because of our fans, because of our market, because of our team. I’m energized by the opportunity to talk to some of these people.”Leipold, who purchased the Wild the year before hiring Fletcher, said the move was unrelated to the Wild’s early exit this year. They lost in five games in the first round to the Winnipeg Jets Womens Bryan Rust Jersey , after being ousted in five games in 2017 by the St. Louis Blues. Last year, Leipold declined to extend Fletcher’s deal.”My antenna’s been up,” Leipold said. ”Chuck and I have had numerous conversations all year. I wanted to wait until the end of the year to assess everything, to understand how I feel about where we’re going. Are we still in the window to win the Stanley Cup? I believe we are. He believed we are. But my personal feeling was that I wanted someone new to come in and kind of shake it up.”Leipold said he won’t order a significant rebuild, nor does he believe that’s necessary for postseason progress. He added he would not hire a general manager who recommended a long-haul approach to hoisting the Stanley Cup.”We were sixth overall two years ago. We were eighth overall this year,” coach Bruce Boudreau said. ”We’ve got an awful lot of good, moving parts there. We’ll tweak it a little bit, and we’ll be better.”The Wild haven’t struggled enough to get a game-changer in the draft, with Matt Dumba in 2012 (seventh) and Mikael Granlund in 2010 (ninth) the only top-10 picks that Fletcher and his staff had. The rival Jets, for example, picked up Patrik Laine with the second overall selection in 2016 and watched him finish second in the NHL with 44 goals in 2017-18 while the team posted the second-best record in the league.In one way Josh Jooris Jersey Womens , the Parise-Suter signings for 13 years and $98 million each have worked against the Wild considering they account for 20 percent of their salary cap space and are on the books for seven more seasons. But Suter had a career-high 45 assists, before breaking his right ankle with four games left in the regular season, and Parise was one of the team’s best forwards down the stretch with 12 goals in the last 19 games. He scored in all three playoff games before breaking his sternum.Trades that didn’t pan out under Fletcher have hurt the Wild more than any free-agent signing or first-round draft pick. Charlie Coyle is all that’s left from the deal that sent defenseman Brent Burns to San Jose in 2011, and Coyle didn’t notch a goal or an assist in the series against the Jets. The trade last summer that sent Jason Pominville and Marco Scandella to Buffalo for Marcus Foligno and Tyler Ennis didn’t wind up helping.So Fletcher’s successor will eventually go to work on a roster that produced a goal-less streak of 141:27 to end the series with Winnipeg.”If you look at the teams moving on, the teams that are winning, they’re scoring and playing at a pretty fast pace,” Parise said. ”We’ve got to get to that level.”—
