Blazers fall to Wild 5-2; winless streak extends to 10

Shots were even at nine a piece in the second period, but it was the Wild who capitalized on their chances. They scored twice, including another power play goal, to take a 3-1 lead after two.

But just like when the Blazers needed an answer back in the first period, Sydor scored again – this time tipping a wrist shot from Ryan Michael – to make it a 3-2 game early in the third period.

Although the Wild would respond with a goal 17 seconds later en route to their 5-2 win.

The Blazers fall to 1-9-2-0 on the 2023-24 Western Hockey League season, good for four points in 12 games. They’re at the bottom of the Western Conference standings.

The Blazers return home for a Friday (Oct. 27) matchup with the Tri-City Americans. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. from Sandman Centre.
