ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- Erik Haula started the rush from the circle in the Minnesota zone early in the third period of a then-scoreless Game 3, leaning forward as he reached the blue line to thread a cross-ice pass to Matt Moulson. Finally on the board, the Wild pulled away for a 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks that night to cut their deficit in the Western Conference semifinal series to 2-1. Game 4 is Friday night, and the Wild have been bracing for more aggression from a Blackhawks team that's as skilled and potent with the puck as any in the NHL. ''I think that's when they're at their best, when they're going at you, trying to attack, trying to make plays every single time,'' Wild defenseman Ryan Suter said.
