Your guide to the boys hockey state tournament

In sports, the Minnesota Timberwolves have lost three games in a row for the first time all season: the Boston Celtics beat them 117 to 109 on Thursday night at Target Center. On Friday, the Twins continue exhibition play against Tampa Bay, and the Wild are in Vancouver.

But we are excited about what's happening at the Xcel Energy Center in downtown St. Paul this week, where the boys high school hockey state tournament is taking place. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer checked in with Howard Sinker for the latest on the tournament. Sinker is a digital sports editor for the Star Tribune.
