ST. PAUL, Minn. — Ryan Donato’s bid to tie the game caromed off the crossbar, and the Minnesota Wild were stuck with another agonizing defeat. Juuse Saros made 29 saves for his third shutout of the season and Ryan Johansen scored a short-handed goal as the Nashville Predators beat the Wild 1-0 Monday night. “That sort of epitomizes the way it was going, and the season,” Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau said. We know that just from numbers, that first goal, what it can do in games,” Johansen said. … The Predators swept back-to-back games against the Wild in early March, both in shootouts.
