The Sabres and Minnesota Wild don't get together very much, as evidenced by the fact tonight's meeting in the XCel Energy Center (6, MSG, Radio 550 AM) is just Buffalo's sixth trip to St. Paul and first since Oct. 23, 2008. But it's a huge deal to Sabres winger Thomas Vanek, the former University of Minnesota star who has loads of family and friends in the Twin Cities and still spends summer there. This will be just the third game of Vanek's NHL career in his adopted home.
Penguins assistant general manager Chuck Fletcher is expected to interview soon for the vacant Minnesota Wild GM job. Fletcher is a leading candidate, though the Wild are thought to have comprised a long list of potential replacements for former GM Doug Risebrough. The Penguins' official stance isn't to comment during the playoffs on potential player or personnel movement, but they are believed to have granted the Wild permission to speak with Fletcher about the position.

The shootout started well for the Ducks when Teemu Selanne beat Manny Fernandez to the glove side and stuffed his stick in an imaginary holster. But Koivu and Robitaille connected for Minnesota, and Fernandez denied Andy McDonald and rookie Ryan Getzlaf.
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- A rough Martin Brodeur start and a shaky five- minute stretch in the first period proved too much for the Devils to overcome Friday night. Brodeur lasted only 8:17 and gave up three goals on four shots in a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center.
