There was no worry of a late game collapse in this one, as the Minnesota Wild scored the first goal and the flood gates opened from there.
By the time the final buzzer sounded to put the Colorado players out of their misery, there was a simple message to infer from this game: The Minnesota Wild are finding their stride.
Every line for the Wild scored at least one goal in this game, only 2 of the 12 forwards failed to record a point, and the 3 Defense currently guaranteed their roster spots all looked fantastic.
