Wild Open California Swing With a Win in Anaheim
Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports Going into Tuesday night’s matchup in Anaheim, the Minnesota Wild were 1-8-0 on the road to start the season. All those games were in October and tonight, it was time for the Wild to change the script with a perfect opportunity on their current West Coast road swing. In years past, the West Coast was a tough road swing, but the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, and San Jose Sharks have all had their own cases of early-season struggles.
The Wild played spoiler tonight, as long-time Ducks’ captain Ryan Getzlaf earned his silver stick during a pregame ceremony for playing in his 1,000th career regular-season game — all with the Ducks.
