Minnesota has found some decent offense on this current five-game homestand. They’ve stormed out to early 3-0 leads in games, but after an overtime loss at the onset of the stretch of home games, these three goal leads don’t leave Wild fans in a comfortable spot until that final horn rings with the Wild still ahead on the scoreboard. Minnesota was able to just outlast the Rangers in a 3-2 victory to go 2-0-1 on this home stretch.
Eric Staal continues to be one of the best moves, not just in Chuck Fletcher’s tenure, but in Wild history.
