In sports, the Minnesota Wild are back on the ice for another season. In the opener last night in St. Paul, the Los Angeles Kings won a shootout for a 3-2 victory over Minnesota. The WNBA finals begin Sunday at Target Center in Minneapolis. The Lynx host the Atlanta Dream in the first game of a best of five series. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke about those stories with Howard Sinker, a digital sports editor for the Star Tribune.
