Nino Niederreiter scored two goals and added an assist as the Minnesota Wild posted a 5-1 win over the Florida Panthers, sending the struggling Cats to a fourth straight defeat that keeps the club at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.
The Cats lone highlight, other than a couple of nice saves by James Reimer, came early when MacKenzie Weegar shot from the boards rebounded off Devin Dubnyk’s blocker right to Denis Malgin, who deposited it into the back of the net at the 2:20 mark.
