“Just some minor tweaks, you know, to be honest with you,” Hynes said to the media following practice. “It was nice that we played the way we played last night because I think you can build off of that.”

The Wild beat St. Louis 3-1 Tuesday night snapping a seven game slide, it was Hynes debut with the team.

The Wild play the Predators Thursday night in Nashville.
