ST. LOUIS -- Jaden Schwartz and the St. Louis Blues are racking up points at home.Schwartz had two goals in the third period, David Perron scored the only goal in a shootout and the Blues beat the Minnesota Wild 4-3 on Saturday night.Paul Stastny also scored as St. Louis stretched its home point streak to nine games and improved to 9-1-2 at Scottrade Center.We want to take advantage of these games, divisional games especially, Schwartz said. It was good coming back after a loss to get a big win and get some more confidence going.Perron made the game-winning move in the fourth round of the shootout after each team came up empty in the first three rounds.I just saw the other guys go and actually on the way down was thinking backhand like I like to do, said Perron, and then, I dont know, I tried something different and it went in.Jake Allen stopped 28 shots and all four shootout attempts to improve to 10-3-3 on the season and 7-0-2 at home.Minnesota tied it at 3 with 1:08 left in regulation. After the Wild pulled Devan Dubnyk for an extra attacker, Charlie Coyle scored his eighth goal of the season on a feed from Eric Staal.It was a good play by (Staal) to just get control and bring it right to the net, Coyle said. Its a good way to battle back to earn that point, definitely.Erik Haula and Mikko Koivu also scored for the Wild. Dubnyk had 35 saves while starting on back-to-back days for the first time this season.Anytime you can pull the goalie and get a goal, I think it makes you feel a little bit better, coach Bruce Boudreau said. Obviously, we dont like to give up a lead in the third period, but we got a point on a tough week in a tough building so well take that right now.Schwartz put St. Louis in front for the first time with a power-play goal at 4:30 of the third period. Boudreau challenged the call, arguing that Blues forward Dmitrij Jaskin interfered with Dubnyk. But the referees ruling that Wild defenseman Ryan Suter pushed Jaskin into the goaltender stood.There was some goalie contact so it was iffy, but its in the third period, Boudreau said. The goal gave them the lead so to me it was worth the gamble.Schwartz also tied it at 2 early in the third when he deflected Perrons shot from the point past Dubnyk for his seventh of the season. Schwartz has five goals and three assists during a six-game point streak.Hes really playing well. Its really good to see, St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. Hes just tenacious and the skill and the timing of everything. Im really happy for him. Hes put so much work into it. His level of determination is so high its great to see.Koivu opened the scoring 11:36 into the first period when he buried a pass from Jason Zucker for his fourth of the season. The Blues tied it when Stastny scored for the third straight game 7:41 into the second.Haula got the lead back for Minnesota midway through the middle period. He capitalized when Allen was unable to grab Jason Pominvilles backhand into the crease from the corner.Game notes Perron has a seven-game point streak, tying a career high. ...

MANKATO, Minn. -- Minnesotas success will ride heavily on the right arm of Teddy Bridgewater, with several improvements sought by the third-year quarterback to steer the Vikings toward a deep run through the playoffs.Being more assertive is on top of Bridgewaters list.The biggest thing that you want to see is maybe him letting it loose a little more, general manager Rick Spielman said near the beginning of the offseason, an uncharacteristically specific directive from the boss that helped shape a narrative thats sure to stretch into the fall.The organizations desire for Bridgewater, 17-11 in his career as a starter but ranked in the bottom third of the NFL last year in most of the major passing categories, has a dual meaning.First, he must be more of an advocate to the coaching staff for the plays hed like to run. Coach Mike Zimmer has almost made it sound as though hed like Bridgewater to argue with him or offensive coordinator Norv Turner once in a while. The consummate team-first player when hes at a podium for interviews, rarely willing to dissect his own performance, Bridgewater acknowledged this week his need to apply more assertiveness to his interaction with the team. The baby-faced, big-smiling Bridgewater has a tendency to be too much of a people pleaser.I want to be an image of coach Zim, Bridgewater said of his blunt-talking coach, and Im going to make sure that I try to do that.The Vikings also need Bridgewater to, literally, let the ball loose down the field. He had 41 completions of 20-plus yards last season, ranking 23rd in the league.Im not going to go out there and just throw the ball all around the park and throw it to the other team. I want to have an aggressive mentality, but a relaxed presence, Bridgewater said. Thats going to be my focus this year, and Im going to make sure Im studying film more and just seeing when we can take shots and what guys we can get after.First-round draft pick Laquon Treadwell was acquired to help with that, after an experiment with Mike Wallace as the top outside wide receiver ended after one year. Stefon Diggs and Charles Johnson will also be counted on, as will Adam Thielen and Jarius Wright in the slot.There might not be a player with more potential to help elevate Bridgewaters performaance, though, than tight end Kyle Rudolph.ddddddddddddEven Zimmer urged Bridgewater at one point in the second half of last season to simply trust Rudolph more. Rudolph was unavailable for most of Bridgewaters rookie year because of injury. For much of 2015, Rudolph was asked to pass block more than ever to aid an ailing offensive line. His production as a receiver picked up significantly down the stretch.Now, with some important additions to the front five, the Vikings are targeting Rudolph as, well, a more active target.Its important to me that I make sure Im always there for Teddy, especially when the head coach has the confidence in me to go to the quarterback and tell him to trust me more, Rudolph said. Being a bigger guy, there may not look like theres much separation there, but if you throw the ball in the right place, Im going to be the only one to get it. Ill always make sure that, worst-case scenario, nobody catches it.Bridgewater wears a gray wristband with the acronym G-U-M-P, standing for great under major pressure. The Vikings have rarely been concerned about his ability in this area, even if his deep-passing statistics have been lacking.Ive been dealing with pressure since Ive been playing sports. Thats why I play the position, said Bridgewater, who will turn 23 on Nov. 10. Its the most pressure-packed position, and I love it.Zimmer has often been asked about Bridgewaters development, their careers inexorably intertwined having taken their respective jobs with the Vikings in 2014. Theres hardly a player the head coach has raved more about, despite the caution Bridgewater has played with and the lack of accuracy hes shown down the field.Im glad hes my guy, Zimmer said, adding: He does the things were asking him to do to continue to win, and I do believe that youre going to continue to see another jump for him. We have to play a certain way in order to win games, and Im not going to apologize for doing that. Teddy is going to be an extremely good player. Hes got too many other things going for him.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
