After an exhausting loss to Rockford to cap off last weekend, the Iowa Wild had a week to prepare, got one of their guys back, and got another forecheck-powered goal to open this weekend with a hard-fought, 3-2 win against the visiting Moose from Manitoba (Winnipeg Jets).
Niklas Svedberg (2-3-0) made his fifth consecutive start of the season, stopping 26 of 28 shots and showing his boxing abilities in the win. Eric Comrie (1-2-0) made one more save, but also let in one more goal as he made 27 saves on 30 Iowa attempts in his second loss of the season.
