The Wild had a perfect opportunity to send their game with the New Jersey Devils into overtime on Sunday, drawing a high-sticking penalty on Eric Haula with 1 minute, 37 seconds remaining.Minnesota had pulled goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury almost a minute earlier, and the Wild sent six skaters against four New Jersey penalty killers with the game on the line.But Minnesota got only one shot on net, a quick slapshot from Kirill Kaprizov from the slot in the final seconds, and finished a three-game road trip with a 4-3 loss to New Jersey at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.With time ticking away with under a minute remaining, Wild players passed to one another repeatedly, as if hesitant to shoot with the two-man advantage.“We didn’t move, either,” head coach Dean Evason told reporters on the Bally North postgame show. “That’s what we’re disappointed with. We stood still and allowed them to collapse. … We just stood and tried to make plays in the area where they were standing.”Jake Middle...

Five Weeknight Dishes: Quick fall pastas

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:20:08 GMT

By Genevieve Ko, The New York TimesAlmost exactly a year ago, I wrote about how pasta was all I wanted for dinner. Maybe it’s the season — a little chill in the air, a lot of too much going on — that calls for tender noodles.Also, it’s only Tuesday, but are you tired? I am, and pasta is the easiest one-dish dinner for anyone feeling weary. If you start boiling a pot of water right after you walk in the door, you can eat in half an hour or less. Work vegetables and proteins into the dish, and you really don’t need anything else to complete the meal, whether it’s cheesy macaroni or soupy soba.But the real beauty of pasta is that it tastes so special, especially when it’s swirled with fall produce. There’s a real restaurant feel to that kind of dish, but it comes at a fraction of the cost when made at home. And the very thrill of that is enough to give me a soft second wind to pull noodles out of the pantry and start cooking.Pasta with Butternut Squash, Kale and Brown Butter. This Ali ...
