For the Minnesota Wild, this marks another win when their back was against the wall. Even early in the season, they’re showing that adversity is something they can deal with.
Heading in at the end of the first period down three goals to one and almost being doubled on the shot counter, you could easily be mistaken for thinking the Minnesota Wild were going to roll over and absorb the defeat to a pre-season Stanley Cup favourite.
Instead, team scoring came to the forefront with the whole team pushing forward in waves and eventually finding due rewards when Marcus Foligno netted on the breakaway and then Zach Parise converted at the end of a third period power-play tying the game up.
