After a first period where only one Montreal shot was from a forward, the Minnesota Wild have lit up Antti Niemi with four goals to stretch their 1-0 first period lead to a 5-0 lead heading into the third.
Nino Niederreiter, Zach Parise and Mikael Granlund are all rocking multi-point nights, with Nino having opened the scoring and assisted on the fifth goal, whilst Parise and Granlund both have two assists each.
Charlie Coyle, Matt Dumba, Eric Staal and Jared Spurgeon have the other four goals for the Minnesota Wild, who have seemingly turned a corner when it comes to scoring.
