Brad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Sunday wasn't Michael Hutchinson's night.
The Winnipeg Jets goaltender allowed six goals on 18 shots, including a seeing-eye shot by Minnesota Wild captain Mikko Koivu early in the second period of preseason action.
Less than five minutes into the period, Koivu gathered the puck from teammate Nino Niederreiter and after outwaiting the Jets forwards, he fired a shot past a heavily screened Hutchinson to put the Wild up 5-0.

The Wild went on to win 8-1, but luckily for Hutchinson and the Jets, it's just preseason.
