Man, don’t sleep on these Minnesota Wild. After spotting the high-flying (pun intended) Winnipeg Jets a 2-0 lead in the first, and failing to convert on any of their six power play opportunities, it didn’t feel like this one was going to be Minnesota’s night.
But somehow, the team battled back, took control of the play, and found four goals in the third period to take down the Jets (another pun intended). It’s just a huge win for Minnesota, who had been in a tight battle with Winnipeg for the second spot in the Central Division.
