RALEIGH, N.C. — What ignited the Wild also extinguished them.
After the power play delivered a lead on the heels of a penalty-filled start, the same unit dropped the team into a two-goal hole that festered into a 5-2 loss to the Hurricanes on Thursday at PNC Arena that snapped the Wild's three-game win streak.
A short-handed tally from Carolina's Teuvo Teravainen at 17 minutes, 22 seconds of the second period was the difference.
