Where has that been? The Minnesota Wild explodes for a touchdown and the extra point in South Florida with a much needed win over the Florida Panthers. Eric Staal scored two goals and added an assist as Minnesota fought for the win by attacking the blue paint of the goal crease.
For a team that scored just five goals in the previous four games, the Wild’s 7-4 victory looks huge. They’ve been boxed out of the slot in the offensive zone in 3 of the last 4 pretty consistently. Friday night, we saw a team committed to getting to the center of the ice.
