Jason Pominville, who was dealt away as part of a trade tree that has roots with Nick Leddy, struck in the third period to over-turn what at one point threatened to be an easy win for the Minnesota Wild.
Given that within the first eight minutes of the game, the Minnesota Wild had a 2-0 lead; it’s wouldn’t have seemed unthinkable for the Sabres to be viewed as down and out.
Instead, they rallied back, bringing the scores back within one in the first period before finishing the job in the third.
