Minnesota Wild forward Nico Sturm was rushed to hospital Monday night after taking a puck directly to the head during the Wild's four-to-two win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

Coordinator Bubba Ventrone is under fire, and Sean McVay knows this unit can unravel an entire season if left unaddressed.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
