ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild sharpened their game late against the St. Louis Blues and kept up an impressive recent stretch.Matt Dumba, Nino Niederreiter and Mikael Granlund scored, Devan Dubnyk made 22 saves and Minnesota held on to beat the Blues 3-1 on Sunday night for their fourth straight win.I think thats nine out of 10 games that weve gotten points in, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. I thought that was our best third period of the year. We had a one-goal lead and I thought we didnt give them anything. That is the way we play when were playing really good. Thats a positive thing. I hope theyre starting to believe theyre a good team.Dumba scored for the second straight game in the second period and Niederreiter got his eighth goal about seven minutes later. Granlund added an empty-net goal.Dubnyk is 6-0-2 in his last eight games, posting a 1.69 goals-against average and .941 save percentage since Nov. 23.Thats important to just get that feeling, get that good feeling going, Dubnyk said. When you can approach every game and feel good about what the outcomes going to be and how were going to play, thats how you get on these streaks. These streaks are important when the schedule gets tough at the end of the year.Vladimir Tarasenko scored his 14th goal of the season for St. Louis. Jake Allen stopped 22 shots for the Blues, who had won five of their past seven games.All these games are right there, but were not getting a big enough push back against these teams that really check hard, St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. They checked hard. We really checked them hard, but as the game wore they started to get a little bit control of it.After a scoreless first period in which the Wild managed just six shots on goal, Dumbas wrist shot put Minnesota ahead just 45 seconds into the second. The young defenseman brought the puck up the center of the ice and casually sent the puck on net, beating Allen high to the stick side.Allen had little help as Niederreiter scored for the first time in seven games. Erik Haula and Charlie Coyle were right in front of Allen, along with two defensemen, but Niederreiter cycled freely before flipping the puck in.Tarasenko, who had six goals against the Wild in the playoffs two years ago, scored for the 10th time in the past 18 games. He is tied for fifth in the league with 14 goals.I thought periodically again we played well, Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. I think the story of the road this year has been a little bit of consistency between games.St. Louis is 4-8-1 on the road this season, while 12-1-3 at home.Game notes Minnesota D Christian Folin skated in the pregame warmup but was scratched for the seventh straight game with a sprained MCL in his left knee. Folin has been cleared to return but Nate Prosser was in the lineup again Sunday. ... The Wild are 0 for 17 on the power play the past seven games. ...

Sydneys pressure is the yardstick for Richmond as they try to turn around their AFL fortunes in a hurry.The night after the Swans enjoyed an outstanding win in Geelong, Richmond were left rueing a missed opportunity as they lost to the Western Bulldogs by 10 points.With Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin outstanding in the midfield, the Tigers put the Bulldogs under sustained pressure for much of the match.It was a much-improved performance from Richmond, now out of finals contention.It was a good starting point, coach Damien Hardwick said.Look at the intensity of Sydney last night - their ability to play that sustained pressure football throughout the course of the game, thats something we probably have to strive towards.At stages its been there this year, but its probably been inconsistent more often than not.Richmonds turnovers cost them dearly and Hardwick bemoaned their lack of efficiency going into attack.The Tigers are now keen to give younger players more opportunities - Jason Castagna impressed and Oleg Markov was among their best on debut.Hardwick said Markov, like Kamdyn McIntosh, will do bettter in the AFL than in the VFL.ddddddddddddor his first game, (he) looked incredibly impressive off half-back - his run and dash and ability to kick the ball, the coach said.As the lead changed five times in the last term, Tigers onballer Reece Conca gave away a free kick and then a 50m penalty that gifted Marcus Bontempelli a goal.Hardwick said the 50m penalty was probably there, but felt the umpire should not have waited so long to blow the whistle as Conca tried to dispose of the ball.The free kick against Reece was pretty stiff, Hardwick said.Look, as long as its consistently paid, Im happy.I just wish theyd be a little bit quicker on the whistle at stages.Tigers midfielder Anthony Miles will probably come under video scrutiny for high contact on Bontempelli earlier in the match.Hardwick said he did not see the incident, but also was not worried.Its unlike Anthony Miles to go in and do something untoward, he said.If theres been a bigger ball player, Id love to see him.
