1-ranked power play scored on all three of their looks, including twice in the third, to storm away 7-3 on Thursday at Amalie Arena and deflate the Wild after their 5-0 blowout vs. the Islanders earlier in the week. Tampa Bay's 3-for-3 night boosted the NHL's best power play to a whopping 31% efficiency, while the Wild blanked on their two chances. "Their power play is deadly, and we couldn't keep it out," said goalie Filip Gustavsson, who had 31 saves and dropped his second consecutive game since returning from injury. The Wild penalty kill remains last in the league at 71.3%.
