A game like this hasn’t happened in a while for the Minnesota Wild — and we needed to see it, so damn bad.
Last season, the Wild sprinkled in these performances where they took on Goliaths of the league and peppered and peppered them and aggressively took them down to make them feel small. Minnesota had its first true performance like that again tonight as they took a commanding 5-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers.
Kirill Kaprizov said Hell no, Connor and demanded that he be crowned the best No. 97 in the sport tonight, scoring a goal and two assists and never gave up trying to get more.
