After a 4-game slump that dropped them to 6th in the division and outside the playoffs the Iowa Wild were powered to victory by the Wild's future. Luke Kunin scored 3 goals and Alex Tuch one when the Iowa Wild took the win. During the 4-game losing streak the Wild lost twice to the Charlotte Checkers and once to the Cleveland Monsters, both being their closest playoff rivals, which really hurt their odds of making the playoffs, but nothing is guaranteed as of yet.
Luke Kunin opened the scoring with his career-first pro goal just 3:02 into the first period.
