Tending twine against Sharks Talbot will defend the cage versus San Jose at home Friday, Jessi Pierce of The Athletic reports.

Impact Talbot has performed well in his first three outings, posting a 2-1-0 record with a 2.27 GAA and a .926 save percentage. Barring any significant dropoff in performance, the 33-year-old netminder figures to continue featuring heavily for the Wild, though the team's heir apparent Kaapo Kahkonen could see plenty of opportunities as well.

Ryan Hartman Bangs Home Own Rebound On Breakaway To Score Shorthanded

1 DAY AGO • YOUTUBE

Opens scoring with SHG Hartman collected a goal on four shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Impact Hartman forced a turnover at his own blueline while shorthanded to create a breakaway for himself late in the first period. His first shot was denied but Hartman immediately pounced on his own rebound and buried it. It was the first career short-handed tally for the 26-year-old, who has played in more than 300 NHL games with Chicago, Nashville, Philadelphia and Minnesota.

Strikes for game-winner Eriksson Ek scored a goal on five shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win versus Anaheim.

Impact Eriksson Ek buried the go-ahead goal from the slot less than two minutes into the third period to deliver the win for the Wild. The 23-year-old has found the net in two of the last three games, with both goals coming during the third period.

Gets first goal in new digs Bonino scored a power-play goal on five shots Wednesday in a 3-2 win over the Ducks. He also won 15 of 26 faceoffs (57.7 percent).

Impact Bonino won an offensive-zone faceoff in the second period and beat Ryan Miller with a wrist shot right from the dot, extending Minnesota's lead to 2-0. It was Bonino's first goal in a Wild uniform after he had been held without a point in each of his first three contests. The 32-year-old, acquired via trade from Nashville in the offseason, hasn't reached the 20-goal mark since 2013-14 with Anaheim, but he could be a useful waiver wire addition if he can continue to take advantage of his power-play time.

Victorious in first start Kahkonen kicked out 22 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Anaheim.

Impact Kahkonen was making his first appearance of the season after No. 1 starter Cam Talbot had done the honors in each of the first three games. The 24-year-old didn't have a whole lot to do until the midway point of the second period when the Ducks struck for a pair of goals three-and-a-half minutes apart. Minnesota had dominated play to that point and Kahkonen locked things down again after Anaheim tied the game. He'll likely head back to the bench when Minnesota hosts San Jose on Friday.

Making season debut Wednesday Kahkonen will make his season debut Wednesday in Anaheim, Sarah McLellan of Star Tribune Sports reports.

Impact Kahkonen watched Cam Talbot start Minnesota's first three games, including Monday's 1-0 loss to the Ducks. While Talbot's off to a strong start in Minnesota, the team will give its backup a shot in this cushy matchup with an Anaheim offense that has mustered only four goals through three games. This will be Kahkonen's first NHL appearance in over a year, as he last guarded the Wild's crease Dec. 15, 2019.

Signs overseas Brown agreed to terms on a one-year deal with IF Bjorkloven (Sweden) on Wednesday.

Impact Brown spent the entire 2019-20 campaign in the minors with AHL Iowa and was never able to force his way into the Minnesota lineup. In his 62 minor-league outings, the 30-year-old winger registered nine goals and 13 helpers. This could mark the end of Brown's NHL career. If so, he would retire having logged 365 games for the Lightning, Ducks and Wild in which he garnered 23 goals and 49 assists.

Dealt to Minnesota Colorado traded Cole to the Wild in exchange for Greg Pateryn on Tuesday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Avalanche almost certainly made this move in order to open up a spot on the left side for Bowen Byram, and they were able to bring back a solid right-handed blueliner in Pateryn in the process. Cole will likely settle into a bottom-four role with Minnesota.
