Pivotal Moment: Captain America takes over in Denver

Opening night in Denver had a little bit of everything. Drama certainly, plenty of goals, hits, and drama swings. The Wild looked to have their goose cooked early falling behind 3-0 and 4-1 in the first and second periods. It would take a heroic performance for the team to recover and find a way to win. Fortunately, this team is in possession of one particular player who has the ability to single-handedly change the momentum of a game with his undying work ethic and inability to give up in any situation. That player of course is Captain America, Zach Parise.
