ST. Christian Villanueva Jersey . PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild paid a hefty price last season to pry Jason Pominville away from the Buffalo Sabres in a trade. They paid an even bigger one to keep him. The Wild signed Pominville to a five-year, $28 million extension Thursday, ensuring that the versatile forward will not become a free agent after the season. The Star Tribune of Minneapolis first reported the terms of the deal, which came hours before the Wild opened the regular season against the Los Angeles Kings. "We can say that this is home now," Pominville told reporters at the teams morning skate. Needing a boost to their grind-it-out offence last season, Wild GM Chuck Fletcher made the bold move of parting with two of the franchises top young players -- goalie Matt Hackett and forward Johan Larsson -- along with a future first-round pick and a second-round pick to get the 2012 All-Star from the Sabres. Pominville had four goals and five assists in just 10 games during the regular season for the Wild before a concussion put him on the shelf. He played sparingly in the teams first-round playoff loss to Chicago, but was healthy and sharp during his action with the team this preseason. The signing only increases the expectations for a team that was no doubt disappointed by the one-and-done appearance in the post-season last year. Wild owner Craig Leipold has now committed significant money to defenceman Ryan Suter, forward Zach Parise and Pominville, all with the idea that this team will become a force in the newly aligned Central Division. "You see some of the players were starting to attract, some of the young players that are coming in, its very promising," Wild coach Mike Yeo said to reporters at Xcel Energy Center. "And more importantly, when you have a player like that who makes the commitment to stay with the organization, that shows, No. 1, that they believe youre going in the right direction and they want to be part of it." Pominville had stated that he wanted to get the deal done before the season began so the issue didnt linger while he was playing. "Were fortunate to get it done and hopefully we can add some more pieces to the puzzle to make it even better," Pominville said.

Patric Hornqvist scored with the man-advantage at 13:56 of the third period to lift the Predators to a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. Matt Cullen and Roman Josi also scored power-play goals to help Nashville snap a three-game losing streak. The three man-advantage goals were a season high for the Predators. Nashville entered Thursday with the NHLs seventh-best power play. "The power play was really huge, but our 5-on-5 play was strong," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "We gave up seven shots in the last two periods and that includes a couple of power plays that they had." Martin St. Louis had both goals for the Lightning, losers of three of their last four. With time winding down in the final period, Hornqvist collected the rebound of Mike Fishers shot and slipped it by Tampa Bay goaltender Ben Bishop. "It hit the heel of my stick, and then I dont know if I got a whack on it on the rebound, too," Hornqvist said. "Its nice to see that it finally went in. Thats how I have to play every single night to be effective." St. Louis opened the scoring at 5:26 of the first period. Ondrej Palat carried the puck from the left boards into the slot, where he sent a backhand off the left post. St. Louis was parked in front of the Nashville goal to tap home the rebound. Less than four minutes later, St. Louis struck again. With the Lightning on a power play, St. Louis wrist shot from the right faceoff dot hit Nashville goaltender Carter Hutton in the chest, fell to the ice, and tricklled across the goal line. Trevor Hoffman Jersey. . Hutton is 7-2-2 in his last 11 games. Since scoring a career-best four times in Tampa Bays Jan. 18 game against San Jose, St. Louis had not scored a goal, a stretch of nine games. He also was pointless in five games for Team Canada in their gold medal-winning performance at the Sochi Olympic Games. "Our 5-on-5 play was horrendous," St. Louis said. "Our battle level was very low. Youve got to grind it out in this league, and we didnt do that." After getting nine shots on goal in the first, Tampa Bay managed just four in the second and three in the third. "It was disgracefully embarrassing, thats what that game was," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "Two periods, really, really disappointed. Seven shots in the last two periods?" Cullen struck at 12:05 of the second. Ryan Ellis skated the puck into the right circle, where he faked a shot and found Cullen at the back door for an easy tap-in. Josi tied the game 1:11 later on another power-play goal when the Swiss Olympian ripped a slap shot from the left faceoff dot over Bishops left shoulder. "The first period, we didnt manage the puck that well," Josi said. "We actually didnt play a bad period in the first, but they got up 2-0. After that, we just worked their defence and our forwards did a great job down low." NOTES: Palat has points in three-straight games. ... Cullen had not scored a goal since Nov. 27, breaking a stretch of 29 games without a goal. ... Nashville is 7-21-5 when its opponents score first. . The game was the first of five consecutive home games for Nashville coming out of the Olympic break.
