Hodgson scored his first goal of the year Thursday, potting the game-winner with 5:21 remaining against the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

After Hodgson swiped an ill-advised pass, he marched down the ice and unleashed a shot on Devan Dubnyk, which he then followed up and poked in past the confused goalie. After opening the season with 10 straight scoreless games, he's collected both of his points in his last two contests, but he's still skating fourth-line minutes -- his 9:22 were a team low in this one.
