ST. PAUL, Minn.—The Minnesota Wild scored four second-period goals Sunday en route to a 6-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets in Game 3 of their first-round NHL playoff series. It was the first win for the Wild in the best-of-seven series, and left the Jets still looking for their first road playoff win in franchise history. Blake Wheeler and Tyler Myers scored for the Jets, but Myers left the game in the second period after an awkward collision with the boards and did not return. Starter Connor Hellebuyck racked up 16 saves in the opening 40 minutes, but did not finish the game. Minnesota set a franchise record for goals in a home playoff game, and showed some offensive ambition after being held to 20 shots or fewer in the series’ first two games in Winnipeg.
