Wild fire coach Mike Yeo, name John Torchetti interim

The decision comes after a 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins at the Xcel Energy Center Saturday night – their 8th consecutive defeat.

He held a news conference following the loss and was sacked shortly after that.

General manager Chuck Fletcher said recently that Yeo’s job was safe.

Next up, the Wild travel to Vancouver to play the Canucks on Monday night.

“I don’t know what they’re thinking”, Suter said according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “You can’t lose every game and expect to think that there’s not going to be changes”.

Fletcher has hired and fired two coaches in Todd Richards and Yeo since being named GM in 2009. The clever Swede, who could be playing his final games with the B’s before the February 29 trade deadline, made a move to his backhand to slide it through Darcy Keumper’s pads. “Very disappointed with that game. We had to get some players dialed in and the accountability within the room”, Torchetti said.

NOTES: Rookie C Joonas Kemppainen was recalled from Providence of the American Hockey League to fill in for Bergeron…. Henrik has 65 points in 79 games vs. the Wild, and his 53 assists are the most against Minnesota by a Wild opponent.

Missing scoring leader Patrice Bergeron, the streaking Boston Bruins had little trouble pushing aside the free-falling Minnesota Wild for yet another road victory.

Their power play went 0 for 5 and they again had a tough time generating any offense. D Jonas Brodin (broken foot) is out.

That’s when rookie defenseman Mike Reilly scored his first National Hockey League goal.

“I’m not going to try to pretend like that was good enough”, Yeo said, adding that he was “very disappointed” with how the Wild responded. In December 2013, a 6-game losing streak had many wondering if the Wild should make a coaching change before Darcy Kuemper and Ilya Bryzgalov helped the Wild to the playoffs. Vanek hadn’t scored in 10 games, but with Gustavsson moving the wrong way, Vanek tried to tuck it short side.

Nestrasil had two goals for the second time in a four games, and has five goals during that stretch.
