SAINT PAUL, Minn. -- New Minnesota Wild coach Bruce Boudreau likes his teams to play up-tempo, high-energy hockey. Its a hallmark he established during successful stints in Washington and Anaheim, which he hopes to show Minnesota fans on Saturday when the Wild hosts the Winnipeg Jets in their home opener.If Boudreaus team is able to play that high-scoring, up-tempo style, it will be something Wild fans havent often seen, and something they definitely havent seen this season. The Wild comes home with a 0-1-0 mark after a generally lifeless 3-2 loss to the Blues in St. Louis on Thursday night, which had even Boudreau admitting his teams effort wasnt there.We were a step behind all night long, Boudreau said, after the Wild managed just two shots in the opening 20 minutes and went 0-for-5 on the power play.Those doldrums stand in sharp contrast to the Jets, who made NHL history in their season opener on Thursday in Winnipeg, becoming just the third team in league history to win its season opener after trailing by three goals in the third period. Winnipeg fell behind 4-1 to Carolina in the third before rallying for a 5-4 overtime win.Ironically, the last team to accomplish that feat was Minnesota, just last season. The Wild trailed 4-1 in the third period at Colorado in the 2015-16 season opener, and stormed back to win 5-4.This young Jets team, which has made the playoffs just once and has not won a playoff game since moving to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011, got some signs of a bright future in the comeback, including the first NHL goal from rookie right winger Patrik Laine, who the Jets plucked second overall in last summers draft.It was an amazing feeling, said Laine, who stands 6-5 and is expected to be an imposing force at forward for the Jets this season and into the future. You score your first NHL goal just once, so it was nice to get it in the first game. It was amazing to feel the atmosphere at the rink.After having the hot-and-cold Ondrej Pavelec in goal since the days they were the Thrashers, the Jets have undertaken a youth movement in the crease as well, putting Pavelec on waivers and inserting youngster Connor Hellebuyck for the opening-night start. With all of that youth in important roles, Jets coach Paul Maurice said the first win, and the first road trip, are important learning opportunities for players more used to major junior and/or college hockey.Its a different league, its a different style of game and its a hard game to play in, Maurice said. The confidence goes a long way.The season-opening loss for Minnesota was a rarity. The Wild had gone 9-4-2 in their previous 15 openers, which was the highest points percentage in NHL history. With Boudreau still learning how to coach this team, and the team still learning how to play for him, the ability to bounce back will get an early test versus Winnipeg.George King Suns Jersey . The 29-year-old Baines has established himself as one of the top attacking full backs in the country and was the subject of two bids from United during the last off-season. Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that keeping Baines at the club is a "massive boost and exciting for the future" because he brings "maturity and football knowledge in a very specialized position on the pitch" and an "infectious and positive influence to the rest of the squad.

Devin Booker Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash was blunt. The highlight in the Rays 7-3 loss Monday to the Baltimore Orioles was an encouraging report on slugger Evan Longorias injured right hand.Longoria was hit by a pitch in the first inning but remained in the game until being pulled after the fifth. The Rays said X-rays were negative.The best news of the day was negative (X-rays), Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Frustrating, disappointing loss.Longoria is hitting .281 with 31 homers and 85 RBI.I wouldnt say I 100 percent expect to play tomorrow, dont know how its going to feel, but if I feel good enough to play I will, Longoria said.Matt Duffy replaced Longoria.I was trying to stay in the game as long as I could, but it kept getting tighter and tighter as the game went on, Longoria said. I felt like I was becoming a liability out there, especially defensively because I couldnt really grip the ball.Ubaldo Jimenez threw a two-hitter for his first complete game since 2011, and Chris Davis homered and drove in three runs for the Orioles.He kind of got rolling there, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. That was fun.Jimenez (6-11) struck out six and walked one. He retired 25 of 26 -- the lone baserunner coming on a fourth-inning walk -- after giving up Logan Morrisons three-run homer in the first.Theres no reason that he shoots a complete game against us today, Morrison said. I didnt think he wass that good.dddddddddddd He was good, but he wasnt that good. I think we got ourselves out a lot.Davis hit his 34th homer, a solo shot off Matt Andriese, during a two-run fourth. Davis drove in two with a single in a five-run fifth that made it 7-3.Andriese (6-7) lost his seventh straight decision, allowing seven runs and nine hits in five innings.Mark Trumbo had an RBI single and Jonathan Schoop, mired in an 0-for-15 slide, had a two-run single during the fifth.TRAINERS ROOMRays: Duffy, who missed two months this season with a left Achilles tendon strain, had a scheduled day off from starting. ... 2B Logan Forsythe also was rested.BENCH MARKSBrad Miller, shifted from shortstop to first base when Duffy was acquired from San Francisco last month, started at short due in part to the Rays having just a three-man bench.

RHP Steve Geltz, utilityman Richie Shaffer and OF Mikie Mahtook will be recalled, and LHP Justin Marks will have his contract purchased from Triple-A Durham Tuesday. C Hank Conger was designated for assignment.UP NEXTRays RHP Jake Odorizzi (9-5), who has a 1.89 ERA since the All-Star break, will go against Orioles RHP Yovani Gallardo (4-7) on Tuesday night. ' ' '
