Minnesota may have had nothing on the line in last night’s victory over the Colorado Avalanche, but that didn’t stop things from getting interesting. The Wild fended off the league’s worst team in a close affair, with the help of a controversial call breaking in their favor.
And along the way, we saw a bunch of milestones. Devan Dubnyk got his 40th win of the season. Jason Zucker and Nino Niederreiter both set career-highs in goals. We even got to see 2016 first-rounder Tyson Jost get his first NHL goal. Good on you, kid.
We also saw some fisticuffs.
