Last night’s game played out exactly as Bruce Boudreau drew it up (probably)… The Wild fell behind 2-0 on the road, then relied on Mike Reilly, Joel Eriksson Ek, and Chris Stewart to score the goals that would ultimately carry the team to victory. Yep, just like Bruce drew it up! It’s never a bad thing to get secondary and tertiary scoring from the depths of the lineup, though, and the Wild seems to be getting just that, as its attack has balanced out quite nicely of late.
Regardless of how it shook out, Minnesota’s win in Newark was an enormous one.
