Wild's Hughes Shines, Power Play Stumbles in Game 4 Must-Win

0:00On April 23rd, the Minnesota Wilder staring down a must-winning game for against the Dallas Stars this Saturday at 5.30 p.m. Eastern Time, with the Stars holding a 2-1 series lead after that wild 4-3 double overtime thriller in game 3. Quinn Hughes, the 26-year-old defenseman of the Wild, grabbed in a big tray from Vancouver back in December, stepped up huge in that loss. Logging a franchise record, 43 minutes and 47 seconds on ice. More than anyone in Wild or North Star's history, assist in firing 4 shots. Hughes has been lights out since joining Minnesota, finishing 5th among defensemen in points with 76 and 74 games, and he's. Already tied for the playoff lead with 4 assists in 3 games, proving why the Wild sent out prospects and a 20-26 first round pick for him. But the power plays have been ice cold, going just 3 for 15 in the series, including 1 for 7 in game 3, and Coach John Hines knows that.

1:01Got to fix it quick, especially with our Ford Madzucorello, sidelined by injury. Hughes stays locked in, saying the teams played solid all series, and they'll bring the urgency to even it up before heading back to Dallas. Hockey between two top squads, and game 4 could flip the script. From your team, powered by AI, this is NHL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
