With a new voice behind the bench, a new era in Wild hockey has commenced with a road game in Vancouver to start a three-game swing through western Canada. Minnesota was led by Zach Parise and a number of kids that look to have been liberated by the new coach. It was the first time in a LOOONG that the Wild celebrated a win. With a 5-2 score behind goals from Parise, Jared Spurgeon, Justin Fontaine, Charlie Coyle , and Nino Niederreiter, Minnesota beat the Canucks in Vancouver to gain a very much needed couple points in the standings.
