Riding a strong four game winning streak, the Wild continued their New York swing with a Sunday night matchup against the 15-15-6 New York Islanders.
After some relatively contained play, the Wild’s altered second line started off the scoring. Brandon Duhaime, the line’s new member, went to the net and scored a greasy goal to put the Wild in the driver’s seat.
