WINNIPEG -- Ilya Bryzgalov didnt have to say anything Monday night as the Winnipeg Jets fans did all the talking. Bryzgalov, who is rarely short of words off the ice, stopped all 24 shots his way and Charlie Coyle scored the games only goal as the Minnesota Wild blanked the Jets 1-0. The Russian goaltender was serenaded on more than once occasion by the home crowd with chants of "Il-Ya". He answered the catcalls with a series of arm gestures. "I want to show them get louder," said Bryzgalov, who Minnesota acquired at the trade deadline from Edmonton. "It sounds like a good tradition. "It became a good tradition every time I play here," he added. The Wild victory all but clinched a Western Conference wild-card berth. Minnesota (41-26-12) would need to lose its final three games with Phoenix winning four straight in order to miss the playoffs. Coyles one-timer off a pass from Zach Parise at 1:05 of the second period came just after a penalty to Winnipeg defenceman Mark Stuart had expired. "Mikko (Koivu) made a nice pass down to Zach and Zach just put it through a guy and found me," Coyle said, "And I just tried to throw it on net and it happened to go in, so it was a great play by those guys." The Jets (35-35-10), who will miss the playoffs for the seventh straight season stretching back to their time as the Atlanta Thrashers, iced an injury-depleted lineup. With two games remaining and 80 points to their credit, the Jets are assured of finishing behind their 51-point pace of the lockout-shortened 2013 season, which would have extrapolated to 87 points in a full campaign. Michael Hutchinson, a 24-year-old rookie who began the season in the ECHL, made his first career NHL start with regular backup Al Montoya still suffering from a lower-body injury. He wasnt asked to make many difficult stops, but Hutchinsons only blemish on 17 shots came on Coyles one-timer. "I thought I played pretty well," Hutchinson said. "Theres some times where nerves get the best of you and you start over thinking certain situations, but overall I think I gave the team a chance to win the game." Bryzgalov wasnt much busier, but did have a higher degree of difficulty as he picked up his fourth shutout of the season. Bryzgalov is now 6-0-3 since joining his new club. "They keep the game simple for mea let me see the shots. They block a lot of shots," Bryzgalov said about his teammates. "I just go on the ice and play hard to try to give the team a chance to win the game. The guys play in front of me unbelievable." The shots were 7-6 Jets in the first period and 7-5 Wild in the second, as neither team could generate any offence. The third period was wide open by comparison, with Winnipeg sending 12 pucks at Bryzgalov. Even four power-play chances couldnt help the Jets find the back of the net. "Whenever your goalie is giving you performances like that your penalty kill is going to be better," said Wild coach Mike Yeo, who added that hes pleased with the improvement his teams penalty kill has shown in the stretch run. Winnipeg winger Evander Kane, who was a healthy scratch Saturday night in Toronto for reportedly being late to a team meeting, was back in the lineup. He managed just one shot on goal and was on the ice for Coyles goal. "Theyre an aggressive penalty kill, like ours," Kane said. "Special teams is what won the game tonight. Its tough when you lose 1-0, because youve got to score at least one to win." The Jets wrap up their home schedule Thursday night against Boston, and finish their season the next night in Calgary. Minnesota returns home to face Boston, St. Louis and Nashville. Notes: Jets captain Andrew Ladd missed his first game due to injury since the 2010-11 season, while Dustin Byfuglien (torn muscle) is done for the season. a Still on the Jets injured list were forwards Chris Thorburn and Mark Scheifele and defencemen Keaton Ellerby and Zach Bogosian. a Minnesota was without forwards Mikael Granlund and Jason Zucker and defencemen Clayton Stoner and Keith Ballard. a Jets centre Jim Slater played in his 500th career NHL game.

We talked about it for the last couple of days — the consistency of playing good and playing bad. We knew we were playing a really good team, so we knew we had to play for 60 minutes. And we did.Gibson, starting in net for the first time since losing 6-4 in his hometown of Pittsburgh on opening night, faced just 17 shots as the Ducks improved to 7-1. Last season, they also won seven straight after a season-opening loss at Colorado.We felt we probably let John down that first game in his hometown, so it was good to have a real solid defensive effort in front of him, said Devante Smith-Pelly, who scored Anaheims third goal. We knew they were in a back-to-back, so obviously we wanted to make it tough for them right from the start.Scott Hartnell had a power-play goal and Sergei Bobrovsky made 30 saves for the Blue Jackets, who were coming off a 5-4 win at San Jose on Thursday. Columbus is off to a 4-3-0 start, after winning a franchise-record 43 games last season and then losing to Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs.Theyre a good hockey team. They play their system and they play their system pretty well, said Ryan Getzlaf, who scored into an empty net with 2:27 remaining. Theyre a hard-working team that has done a lot of good things so far, so we knew we were going to have to be up for it.Perry, who got his second hat trick of the season in Wednesdays 4-1 win over Buffalo, opened the scoring with a backhander from the edge of the crease just 1:28 after the opening faceoff and 64 seconds after David Savard was sent off for hooking Jakob Silfverberg.Theres no reason why we cant have a better start, Hartnell said. Once again, we had a penalty early and they score on the power play. We seemed flat that first little bit, and its something we talked about before the game. They have a puck-control team, and their big guys outplayed our big guys. It seemed like we were chasing the puck all night.It was the third straight game in which the Ducks scored on their first shot on net. Matt Beleskey did it against St. Louis Brian Elliott last Sunday, and Perry did likewise on Wednesday against Buffalos Michal Neuvirth.ddddddddddddPerry, the 2011 MVP, has nine goals in his first eight games in the fastest start in franchise history.He certainly is feeling it right now, Boudreau said. Hes going to slow down eventually, and hopefully by that time, somebody else can pick up the slack.Vatanen made it 2-0 at 8:37, scoring on a screened, 45-foot slap shot while Matt Calvert was off for hooking William Karlsson. Columbus came in having allowed one goal in 16 short-handed situations over its first six games.When you get those two power-play goals early, it sets the tone for the rest of the game, Boudreau said. Sami made a great play on both goals. He froze their whole team on the first one when we werent really doing anything, then he gave it to the right guy. The second one was just a really hard shot. Corey was right in Bobrovskys face, so theres no way he could see the puck.The Blue Jackets got on the board at the 14-minute mark of the first with Hartnells first goal of the season, just 14 seconds after Ben Lovejoy went off for tripping Mark Letestu.But Smith-Pelly restored the Ducks two-goal margin at 13:06 of the second with a perfect redirect of Perrys soft, cross-ice pass into the low slot — lifting his left leg just in time after the puck hit the blade of his stick.Columbus right wing Adam Cracknell, who made his Blue Jackets debut in Thursdays 5-4 win at San Jose, left the game with an injured left knee after he and Nate Thompson slid into the boards going after a loose puck in the left corner of the Ducks zone at 2:54 of the third period.Teammate Cam Atkinson then departed after getting cut below his right eye by the skate of Ryan Kesler while trying to check him inside the Columbus blue line.NOTES: Columbus next game is a Sunday matinee against the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. The Blue Jackets, who entered the league in 2000-01, are 6-24-5 with two ties during the regular season against teams that were defending a Stanley Cup title. ... Cracknell spent his four previous NHL seasons with St. Louis and was claimed off waivers from the Kings. ...
