The Minnesota Wild seemingly never stood a chance tonight. After scoring an early goal off the stick of Nino Niederreiter the Wild seemed to fall down a bottomless pit of dispair for about 45 minutes, and the the Boston Bruins took full advantage of that time. The Bruins would win by a 5-3 margin and the Wild’s late attempt at a comeback was stifled.
Mikael Granlund would get his first goal of the season in the 3rd period tonight, and Eric Staal would find a goal during the penalty kill late in the game.
