Wild End Griffins’ March, 5-4
Iowa Wild [From the Griffins]
DES MOINES, Iowa – Connor Dewar started and finished the night’s scoring on Saturday, lifting the Iowa Wild to a 5-4 victory over the Grand Rapids Griffins at Wells Fargo Arena. His second goal came with 3:35 remaining to break a 4-4 tie and hand the Griffins their first regulation loss since Feb. 28, snapping Grand Rapids’ six-game point streak (4-0-2-0) and four-game road winning streak.
Despite being outshot 13-3 during the opening period, the Wild went to the locker room with a 1-0 lead thanks to Dewar, who beat Pat Nagle with a wrister from the left circle at 19:18, just two seconds after the only power play of the frame expired.
